Katriena, vertel!
Katriena, vertel! bevat ’n keur uit die drie Katriena-bundels mét die bonus van ’n handvol splinternuwe verhale. Met Katriena het Riana Scheepers ’n onvergeetlike karakter geskep. Katriena het ’n ruim hart vol deernis met die wêreld: vir bergies en weduvroue en vroue wat alleen die wêreld moet aandurf, maar veral vir die mêrrem van die halwe huis en haar twee onhebbelike seunskinders. Met haar onblusbare vermoë om stories te vertel, pluk Katriena die lewe se skeefkante reg; of dit nou is om te vertel van die man wat ’n Namakwalandse plaas, onder ‘n skuilnaam, geërf het, of van die genade wat uit ’n leivoor kan kom.

Erudite, solid, enlightening, this is a truly valuable book for our field.

Storie van 'n Huis
Na 15 jaar is die imposante Chateau de la Creuzette in haar volle glorie gerestoureer. Sy sit in haar skaduryke park omring deur eeu oue bome waar sy afwagtende besoekers steeds met oop arms ontvang. Die suksesvolle Feestelike Frankryk het Fransgesinde lesers gaande gehad met stories en smaaklike resepte uit die Franse platteland. Uit La Creuzette se nuwesomerkombuis vloei daar nou 'n magdom kulinere heerlikhede wat elke kosliefhebber se mond sal laat water. Buiten die bykans 90 nuwe resepte wat die skrywers in vyf seisoene verdeel (ja vyf!) is daar 'n Kroekboek bygevoeg waarin die twee gashere hul maklike kortpadresepte en wenke met lesers deel - hoe om in die kombuis te kul en te konkel as die kalf in die put is. Hier word elke maaltyd 'n feesmaal.
The Postcolonial Low Countries
The Postcolonial Low Countries is the first book to bring together critical and comparative approaches to the emergent field of neerlandophone postcolonial studies. The collection of essays ranges across the cultures and literatures of the Netherlands and Belgium and establishes an encounter between postcolonial theoretical discourses from both within and without the region. Each one of the contributions puts under pressure the definitive concepts of postcolonial studies in its more conventional anglophone or francophone formation, as well as perceptions of the Low Countries, Belgium and the Netherlands, as lying outside or to the side of the postcolonial domain. In the Low Countries, local ...
Witness to Power
Mathews Phosa has been an eyewitness to the dramatic shifts of political power in South Africa. He was involved in the Black Consciousness Movement, the UDF and the ANC, before fleeing into exile in 1985 and becoming an uMkhonto weSizwe commander in Mozambique. A lawyer by training, he was one of the first ANC members to return to South Africa to prepare the way for negotiations. He was premier of Mpumalanga during the presidency of Nelson Mandela, with whom he had a strong relationship. Under Thabo Mbeki, whom he had known in exile, Phosa was pushed to the sidelines, with false accusations that he was involved in a ‘plot’ to overthrow the president. Phosa had served under Jacob Zuma as ...

Like Family
An analytic and historical perspective of literary texts to understand the position of domestic workers in South Africa More than a million black South African women are domestic workers. Precariously situated between urban and rural areas, rich and poor, white and black, these women are at once intimately connected and at a distant remove from the families they serve. Ena Jansen shows that domestic worker relations in South Africa were shaped by the institution of slavery, establishing social hierarchies and patterns of behavior that persist today. To support her argument, Jansen examines the representation of domestic workers in a diverse range of texts in English and Afrikaans. Authors include André Brink, JM Coetzee, Imraan Coovadia, Nadine Gordimer, Elsa Joubert, Antjie Krog, Sindiwe Magona, Kopano Matlwa, Es'kia Mphahlele, Sisonke Msimang, Zukiswa Wanner and Zoë Wicomb. Like Family is an updated version of the award-winning Soos familie (2015) and the highly-acclaimed 2016 Dutch translation, Bijna familie.
