On Record
ÿ Popular Afrikaans music artists have done well in post-apartheid South Africa and enjoy the enthusiastic support of loyal fans. This support is fuelled by a complex set of emotions linked to ?being Afrikaans? in a culturally pluralistic society. In On Record, van der Merwe investigates the interplay between popular music and the unfolding of Afrikaans culture politics from the start of the twentieth century to the present. It includes a search for the earliest recorded Afrikaans songs and documents subsequent phases of music development that reflect the agency of ordinary individuals - artists and listeners - against a background of fundamental societal and political change. It regards bo...

Son of a Whore
After the runaway success of his Afrikaans memoir, Hoerkind, the contrarian journalist and writer Herman Lategan translated and updated his eventful life story, with no holds barred. Herman was conceived illegitimately one warm February night in 1964 in a boarding house in Cape Town. From an early age, he felt disposable, passed from one pair of unstable adult hands to the next, even ending up in an orphanage for a while. At thirteen he was caught in the web of a cunning paedophile, a well-known Afrikaans newspaperman. Shortly after his eighteenth birthday, when his abuser finished with him, Herman was unceremoniously dumped at the door of his alcoholic father. Conscription into the army and...

Papegaaislaai
Malletjie en Rocky sit sonder werk en hul geld raak min, so om private speurwerk soos op Cheaters te doen, lyk na ’n blink idee. Wanneer dié twee helde begin soek na ’n vermiste Afrikaanse sanger wat onder raaiselagtige omstandighede verdwyn, dans die poppe behoorlik. Hul speurtog strek van Fietas en Hillbrow tot Brakpan en die Bosveld. In die proses krap hulle ’n addernes in die onderwêreld van die Afrikaanse musiekbedryf oop. Dan is daar ook nog die gerug dat die wêreld na sy maai gaan op 21 Desember 2012. Daar is nog net ses dae oor ... Gaan Malletjie en Rocky oorleef in ’n wêreld wat mal geraak het? Theunis Engelbrecht se vlymskerp satire Papegaaislaai skud die fondasies van Afrikaanse popkultuur soos goeie rock ’n’ roll.
Plate en Politiek
Populere Afrikaanse musiekkunstenaars het sover goed gedoen in post'apartheid Suid-Afrika en geniet die entoesiastiese ondersteuning van lojale volgelinge. Hierdie ondersteuning word aangevuur deur 'n komplekse stel emosies wat verband hou daarmee "e;om Afrikaans te wees"e; in 'n kultureel pluralistiese samelewing. In Plate en Politiek ondersoek Van der Merwe die interaksie tussen populere musiek en die ontvouing van 'n Afrikaanse kultuurpolitiek vanaf die begin van die twintigste eeu tot die hede. Dit sluit 'n soektog in na die eerste opgeneemde Afrikaanse liedere en dokumenteer die daaropvolgende fases van musiekontwikkeling wat die agentskap van ordinere mense - kunstenaar en luisteraar -...
My Only Story
In November 2019, Deon Wiggett’s sensational weekly podcasts held South Africa in thrall as he hunted down the paedophile who raped him as a schoolboy. Now, in My Only Story, he completes his exposé of Willem Breytenbach, the once brilliant teacher and later media luminary who led a predatory life. Deon’s mission to expose his abuser takes him from Breytenbach’s high-school years at an agricultural school in South Africa’s hinterland to the famous Grey College in Bloemfontein and the media titan Naspers. But his quest reveals so much more. As he traces systemic failures through schools great and small, he uncovers a culture of complicity that presents a clear and horrid danger to So...
