In Love's Place
After his heart bypass operation, former champion athlete Christian Lemmer needs to take stock. When a Cape Flats gang begins to target him, this becomes vitally important. Christian commutes between Johannesburg and Stellenbosch, where he returns at weekends to his amnesiac wife Christine and his confrontational son Siebert. But he also has a hideaway that no one knows about, a flat in Sea Point where his drug dealer meets him, and a Swazi prostitute becomes his confidante. And in Matjiesfontein the staff of the Lord Milner Hotel and the local pigeon breeders are in a state of excitement with the approach of the Southern Cross Derby - the most important event in the Karoo's pigeon racing calendar. But other things are afoot in Matjiesfontein as well, things in which the lives of the Lemmers are soon to become involved, from the arrival of the Piss-Man to the disappearance of prodigy Snaartjie Windvogel who, it is said, bewitches her father's pigeons with her violin playing. The Lemmers come to the village to try to unravel one mystery, only to find themselves caught up in another.
Art Crime
Since the Second World War, art crime has shifted from a relatively innocuous, often ideological crime, into a major international problem, considered by some to be the third-highest grossing criminal trade worldwide.

Kobarid
Verscholen tussen de uitlopers van de Julische Alpen, aan een snelstromende smaragdgroene rivier, ligt Kobarid. Het Sloveense dorp aan de Italiaanse grens met amper elfhonderd inwoners heeft de afgelopen twee eeuwen niet alleen vele grens- en machtswisselingen meegemaakt, maar ook natuurgeweld, twee wereldoorlogen, en een onafhankelijkheidsoorlog. De Grote Geschiedenis is ook nog eens in ongekend veel beroemde levende lijven langsgekomen. Keizer Frans Jozef, duce Benito Mussolini, maarschalk Tito en schrijver Ernest Hemingway zijn enkelen van de beroemdheden die verbonden zijn met de geschiedenis van Kobarid. De vraag is wat de inwoners met al deze geschiedenis hebben gedaan. Want hoeveel geschiedenis kan een mens, een plaats hebben? Theo Toebosch, die na een toevallig eerste bezoek gefascineerd raakte, schetst een levendig beeld van een plek die in het brandpunt van een almaar veranderend Europa naar een eigen identiteit heeft gezocht.
Rosa Manus (1881-1942)
Rosa Manus (1881–1942) uncovers the life of Dutch feminist and peace activist Rosa Manus, co-founder of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, vice-president of the International Alliance of Women, and founding president of the International Archives for the Women’s Movement (IAV) in Amsterdam, revealing its rootedness in Manus’s radical secular Jewishness. Because the Nazis looted the IAV (1940) including Manus’s large personal archive, and subsequently arrested (1941) and murdered her (1942), Rosa Manus has been almost unknown to later generations. This collective biography offers essays based on new and in-depth research on pictures and documents from her archiv...

Dutch Colonialism, Migration and Cultural Heritage
Migration flows in the former Dutch colonial orbit created an intricate web connecting the Netherlands to Africa, Asia and the Americas; Africa to the Americas and to Asia; in the nineteenth century Asia to the Americas, with, in the post-Second World War period, the direction of migration shifting to the Netherlands. Some of these migrations were voluntary, others were forced; they helped to create colonial societies that were never typically Dutch, but did have Dutch characteristics. Power imbalance, ethnic differences and creolization characterized the cultural configuration of these colonial societies. This book, with contributions by a number of Dutch scholars, provides state-of-the-art discussions on these migration histories. In addition, it presents reflections on the ways this past and its repercussions are remembered (or forgotten, or actively silenced) throughout the former colonial empire. This part of the book is embedded in the wider contemporary debate about the contested concept of cultural heritage, and about the possibility of meaningful cultural heritage policies in a post-colonial world.
