Barbara Al Sole; Words of Love and Freedom
Barbara al Sole is Brandt's second published anthology. It contains a selection of poems including the title poem, inspired by an amazing watercolour painting by Franco Giomi, the Tuscan/Italian painter. [My thanks to him for allowing me to use his painting, which I am pleased to own, on the cover of the book.] The other poems, on the theme of Love and freedom touch on the difficult issues of romantic and other kinds of love and the vicissitudes of contemporary socio cultural relations. 'The land of gates' explores both themes and is inspired by Brandt's recent travel to Enugu where he saw an array of Gates, aesthetically adorned but carrying out a much more prosaic function.

Madiba and Other Poems
This anthology of poetry is first and foremost a tribute to Madiba - Nelson Mandela, the inspiration for the volume and the subject of the title poem. Th e collection features poems written at various points in Brandts career as a writer, cultural analyst and academic. Marie Village Beauty goes back a long way to his childhood and is a first experiment with Guyanese Creole. Notably, there is also a tribute to Stephen Lawrence, a young black Briton who sadly lost his life in terrible circumstances and has been mourned by the nation ever since.
Trail of the Lost Jaguar
Trail of the Lost Jaguar is about two young British men who are in search of their 'jaguar' in the land of the jaguar, Guyana, South America, with no previous acquaintance with each other. While following their individual trails, they meet in Georgetown with explosive results. Guyana-born, Darren Young is returning to Guyana to pay tribute to and to bury his mum. Steve Everett, from County Durham, UK, is in Guyana for different purposes, including finding the 'biggest diamond'. Both are searching for a destination that is undefined but sincerely sought. In his quest to find the biggest diamond he meets Ian, Darren's relation, a fellow explorer in the bush. Much of the narrative is generated in the mind of Darren, including the story of 'jaguar man', a British man of Irish background who takes his 'jaguarness' to another level.
Racism
Of all mankinds' vices, racism is one of the most pervasive and stubborn. Success in overcoming racism has been achieved from time to time, but victories have been limited thus far because mankind has focused on personal economic gain or power grabs ignoring generosity of the soul. This bibliography brings together the literature providing access by subject groupings as well as author and subject indexes. Contents: Racial Attitudes; Racism and Poverty; Hate Groups; Racial Justice; Racism and Politics; Race Discrimination; Racial Identity; Racism Around the World.
Voicing Concerns
Since the early 1980s, sociology of education has been the subject of serious criticism, much of it emanating from supporters of the New Right in education. The discipline has been depicted as subversive, irrelevant and offering no really useful knowledge. In this collection of original articles, the authors seek to address such criticisms through an examination of key reforms. The chapters thus provide a critical commentary on past work as well as identifying a series of agendas for future research and analysis. Overall the intention is to encourage debate and dialogue.
Education for All
Education For All was a report published in 1985 covering achievement and under-achievement, teacher-training and mother-tongue teaching of the ethnic minority groups. In this volume, a group of educationalists reflect on the report.
