adam Habib
This is a readable, well-informed and perceptive account of the political economy of contemporary South Africa. Although he is clear-eyed about the inequality and poverty that mar the social terrain and the factionalism, corruption and greed that currently affect elite politics, Habib makes a case for specic forms of political leadership, for an active citizenry, and for the possibility of social pacts as paths towards an alternative political agenda.

W.E.B. du Bois Lectures mahmood mamdani
Mamdani distills with magisterial clarity his reections on how political thought and law converged in the colonial imaginary to create a technology of rule that spanned South East Asia, India and most of Africa. He shows how the colonial past is alive in the present, as popular politics remains fractured by the question of who is a citizen, of who can rightfully belong. Original and always provocative, in this book Mamdani gives us the intellectual co-ordinates with which to chart a way toward a truly decolonised political future.

With profound insight, Hansen explores the struggles of South African Indians to take possession of their new political and cultural liberty since the end of apartheid. Showing how they are haunted by a past they cannot openly mourn and bereft of the ambiguous certainties once ensured by a racist state, this compelling and highly original book calls on us to rethink the complex challenges that attend the meaning of freedom everywhere.

New aNd CurreNt titles shakespeare and the Coconuts OnPost-apartheidSouthAfrican Culture
natasha distiller
this is, ultimately, a book that tells us more about contemporary South Africa than it does about Shakespeares plays and poetry. And that is as it should be. ChrisThurman,www.slipnet.co.za Distiller examines Shakespeares place in South Africas education and culture without universalising the contradictory forces that have made that position controversial and is thus able to provide both a fascinating account of current South African culture and a precise analytical model with which to challenge the concept of a single global or post-colonial Shakespeare. KateMcLuskie,TheShakespeareInstitute Natasha distiller is a writer and academic currently based in Berkley, California. She was associate Professor of English and Chief research Ofcer at the institute for the Humanities in africa (Huma) at the university of Cape Town. Her previously published books include Fixing Gender: Lesbian Mothers and the Oedipus Complex (2011); Horace Amoris: The Collected Poetry of Rosa Newmarch, co-edited with john Holmes (2010) and Desire and Gender in the Sonnet Tradition (2008). Natasha Distiller, of all scholars working onShakespeare and South Africa, asks the most interesting questions. She pushes us to think about race, discourses of authenticity, national identications, pedagogy, the institutions of literature in the country, and the place of South Africa in the global mediascape.

It is extremely exciting to see John Mastersons thoroughgoing critical engagement with the work of the leading African writer Nuruddin Farah come into the world, especially a study that does proper justice to the writers expansive oeuvre, his political complexity, his preoccupations with body politics in and of the nation, and his ne attention to style. No Africanist should be without this masterful study. EllekeBoehmer,UniversityofOxford TheDisorderofThings is an impressive and accomplished work which reads Foucault to illuminate Farah in a wideranging study of his writing. Mastersons text is original and perceptive, and engages persuasively with Farahs valorisation of doubt and scepticism over dogma and selfrighteousness. AbdulrazakGurnah,UniversityofKent NuruddinFarahiswidelyregardedasoneofthemost sophisticatedvoicesincontemporaryworldliterature.

anthony akerman
Anthony Akermans SomewhereontheBorder is merciless. In this touching, disturbing and meticulously researched play, each vulgar and bullying witticism reinforces the indoctrinating brutality with which young, susceptible minds were beaten into submission. Each word is like a razor wire pulled across the soul. LeonvanNierop,Artslink Since its rst staging in the early 80s, Akermans play has lost none of its explosive power. Chillingly brutal and grimly humorous all at once, it detonates in the present like a long-dormant mine.

The African Treasury Series

The African Treasury Series is a premier collection of texts by South Africas pioneers of African literature and written in indigenous languages. First published in the 1940s, the series provided a voice for the voiceless and celebrated African culture, history and heritage. It continues to make a contribution by supporting current efforts to empower and develop the status of African languages in South Africa.
