Embedded in these scholarly networks is the question of whether a global template for the management of both higher education and national research organisations is necessary, and if so, must institutions slavishly follow the high-flown language of the global knowledge society or risk falling behind in the ubiquitous university ranking system? Or are there alternatives that can achieve a better, more ethically inclined, world? Basing their observations on their own experiences, an interesting mix of seasoned scholars and new voices from southern Africa and the Nordic region offer critical perspectives on issues of inter- and cross-regional academic co-operation. Several of the chapters also touch on the evolution of the higher education sector in the two regions. An absorbing and intelligent study, this book will be invaluable for anyone interested in the strategies scholars are using to adapt to the interconnectedness of the modern world. It offers fresh insights into how academics are attempting to protect the spaces in which they can freely and openly debate the challenges they face, while aiming to transform higher education, and foster scholarly collaboration. The Southern African-Nordic Centre (SANORD) is a partnership of higher education institutions from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. SANORDs primary aim is to promote multilateral research co-operation on matters of importance to the development of both regions. Our activities are based on the values of democracy, equity, and mutually beneficial academic engagement.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9780620557894_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20160513 2016 02 WORLD 13 15 9780620557894 06 15 9780620557887 06 15 9780620557870 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:69eb7992-26d4-499b-9eed-5d0d716d148c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:69eb7992-26d4-499b-9eed-5d0d716d148c 15 9781928331605 06 10.47622/9781928331599 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:69eb7992-26d4-499b-9eed-5d0d716d148c 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/open-data-in-developing-economies-toward-building-an-evidence-base-on-what-works-and-how/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331599.pdf 1 A01 Stefaan Verhulst 01 ORCID 0000-0001-6566-6071 2 A01 Andrew Young 01 eng 00 275 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access -

While the public broadcaster remains the dominant national player - in terms of reach - in both radio and television, commercial broadcasters have introduced a substantial level of diversity in the industry. Public broadcasting faces serious competition from the numerous private and independent broadcasters, especially in and around the capital Kampala and major urban centres. In fact, the private/commercial sector clearly dominates the industry in most respects, notably productivity and profitability. The public broadcaster, which enjoys wider geographical coverage, faces the challenge of trying to fulfill a broad mandate with little funding. This makes it difficult for UBC to compete with the more nimble operators in the commercial/private sector. Overall, there appears to be a healthy degree of pluralism and diversity in terms of ownership.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920355401_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20120824 2012 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920355401 06 15 9781920489717 06 15 9781920489694 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:a33cad1a-626c-4c9a-9dbd-ad990f07ab79 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a33cad1a-626c-4c9a-9dbd-ad990f07ab79 15 9781920489687 06 10.47622/9781920355265 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:a33cad1a-626c-4c9a-9dbd-ad990f07ab79 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920355265.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/public-broadcasting-in-africa-series-zimbabwe/ 1 A01 Sarah Chiumbu 01 ORCID 0000-0001-9349-8204 01 eng 00 107 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920355265_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20120824 2012 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920355265 06 15 9781920489687 06 15 9781920489663 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:360104be-3ce5-485a-aac3-c8ccf1ac80c3 03 01 01 urn:uuid:360104be-3ce5-485a-aac3-c8ccf1ac80c3 15 9781928502104 06 10.47622/9781928502104 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:360104be-3ce5-485a-aac3-c8ccf1ac80c3 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/reflections-of-south-africa-student-leaders-1994-to-2017/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502104.pdf 1 B01 Thierry Luescher 01 ORCID 0000-0002-6675-0512 2 B01 Denyse Webbstock 3 B01 Ntokozo Bhengu 01 ORCID 0000-0003-1831-0544 01 eng 00 336 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Reflections of South African Student Leaders 1994-2017 brings together the reflections of twelve former SRC leaders from across the landscape of South African universities. Reviews of the previous volume, 1981-2014 suggested that it contributed significantly to a better understanding of the stringent demands of visionary and transformative leadership required by university leaders in the fastchanging and increasingly complex public higher education sector.</p><p>This volume is based on comprehensive interviews with former student leaders, each of whom provided a personal account in their own words of their experience in the position of student leadership. The interviewees are from different backgrounds and of diverse political persuasions. The book is important for current and future leaders of higher education institutions as it provides insights into the thinking, aspirations, desires, fears and modus operandi of student leaders.

It is precisely ‘time and place’ that make this set of reflections by university leaders quite remarkable and distinguishes it from the many biographies to be found in the literature on higher education leadership. … In the main, this collection spans two decades, the 1990s and 2000s, of unprecedented levels of change in South African higher education. Leaders in universities, as well as those responsible for higher education policy in the government and associated statutory bodies, had no neat script to work off, nor ‘manuals’ or prescripts of ‘good’ leadership or practice. Instead, there was palpable excitement about collectively imagining and nurturing a new post-apartheid higher education system, which would contribute to the social and economic development needs of the country, the deepening of democracy and which would also be globally relevant.</p><p>Most reflections touch on the coalface of leadership, which is the face-to-face interactional dimension, dealing with staff, with students, with council chairs. What comes through clearly, is the importance of what are sometimes called ‘people skills’. In these accounts this is not simply presented as a human relations aptitude, for a number of reasons, first of which is the special nature of universities and their occupants. More than one points out the special challenge of managing the talented people that are academics, and their inbuilt distaste for bureaucracy, their reluctance to be managed or told what to do. The message here is consistently one of needing to be completely open with academics, the importance of maintaining the distinction between ‘collegial’ and ‘executive’ management (avoiding ‘managerialism’), and the critical importance of winning and holding their trust.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331094_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20160303 2016 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331094 06 15 9781928331100 06 15 9781928331117 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:56e18873-6314-457b-a45a-71e2a52679bd 03 01 01 urn:uuid:56e18873-6314-457b-a45a-71e2a52679bd 15 9781067253752 06 10.47622/9781067253752 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:56e18873-6314-457b-a45a-71e2a52679bd 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/reflections-on-identity-in-four-african-cities/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920051402.pdf 1 B01 Simon Bekker 2 B01 Anne Leilde 01 eng 00 256 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Identity has become the watchword of our times. In sub-Saharan Africa, this certainly appears to be true and for particular reasons. Africa is urbanising rapidly, cross-border migration streams are swelling and globalising influences sweep across the continent. Africa is also facing up to the challenge of nurturing emergent democracies in which citizens often feel torn between older traditional and newer national loyalties. Accordingly, collective identities are deeply coloured by recent urban as well as international experience and are squarely located within identity politics where reconciliation is required between state nation-building strategies and sub-national affiliations. They are also fundamentally shaped by the growing inequality and the poverty found on this continent. These themes are explored by an international set of scholars in two South African and two Francophone cities. The relative importance to urban residents of race, class and ethnicity but also of work, space and language are compared in these cities. This volume also includes a chapter investigating the emergence of a continental African identity. A recent report of the Office of the South African President claims that a strong national identity is emerging among its citizens, and that race and ethnicity are waning whilst a class identity is in the ascendance. The evidence and analyses within this volume serve to gauge the extent to which such claims ring true, in what everyone knows is a much more complex and shifting terrain of shared meanings than can ever be captured by such generalisations.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920051402_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20120528 2012 02 WORLD 06 15 9781067253752 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:4bbedb2f-a182-44de-b608-f2aedc0b78ea 03 01 01 urn:uuid:4bbedb2f-a182-44de-b608-f2aedc0b78ea 15 9781928502166 06 10.47622/9781928502159 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:4bbedb2f-a182-44de-b608-f2aedc0b78ea 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502159.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/refractions-african-cities/ 1 B01 Simon Bekker 2 B01 Sylvia Croese 01 ORCID 0000-0003-3197-1363 3 B01 Edgar Pieterse 01 eng 00 188 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Case studies of metropolitan cities in nine African countries from Egypt in the north to three in West and Central Africa, two in East Africa and three in Southern Africa make up the empirical foundation of this publication. The interrelated themes addressed in these chapters the national influence on urban development, the popular dynamics that shape urban development and the global currents on urban development make up its framework. All authors and editors are African, as is the publisher. The only exception is Göran Therborn whose recent book, Cities of Power, served as motivation for this volume. Accordingly, the issue common to all case studies is the often conflictual powers that are exercised by national, global and popular forces in the development of these African cities. Rather than locating the case studies in an exclusively African historical context, the focus is on the trajectories of the postcolonial city (with the important exception of Addis Ababa with a non-colonial history that has granted it a special place in African consciousness). These trajectories enable comparisons with those of postcolonial cities on other continents. This, in turn, highlights the fact that Africa today, the least urbanised continent on an increasingly urbanised globe is in the thick of processes of large-scale urban transformation, illustrated in diverse ways by the case studies that make up the foundation of this publication.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502159_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20210120 2021 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502159 06 15 9781928502166 06 15 9781928502173 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:e7c8a404-a7d3-4efc-b479-118c1ddea50d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e7c8a404-a7d3-4efc-b479-118c1ddea50d 15 9781928502685 06 10.47622/9781928502678 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:e7c8a404-a7d3-4efc-b479-118c1ddea50d 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502678.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/reframing-africa/ 1 B01 Cynthia Kros 01 ORCID 0000-0001-7075-2273 2 B01 Reece Auguiste 01 ORCID 0000-0001-8641-7795 3 B01 Pervaiz Khan 01 ORCID 0000-0001-7284-7735 01 eng 00 246 03 20 film 10 SOC008010 20 film studies 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502678_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ South Africa 04 20221214 2022 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502678 06 15 9781928502685 06 15 9781928502692 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:e311bef6-4f12-4980-bfcb-dc5674a557a7 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e311bef6-4f12-4980-bfcb-dc5674a557a7 15 9781928331889 06 10.47622/9781928331872 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:e311bef6-4f12-4980-bfcb-dc5674a557a7 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331872.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/research-universities-in-africa/ 1 A01 Nico Cloete 2 A01 Ian Bunting 3 A01 Francois van Schalkwyk 01 ORCID 0000-0002-1048-0429 01 eng 00 314 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>From the early 2000s, a new discourse emerged, in Africa and the international donor community, that higher education was important for development in Africa. Within this zeitgeist of converging interests, a range of agencies agreed that a different, collaborative approach to linking higher education to development was necessary. This led to the establishment of the Higher Education Research and Advocacy Network in Africa (Herana) to concentrate on research and advocacy about the possible role and contribution of universities to development in Africa. This book is the final publication to emerge from the Herana project. The project has also published more than 100 articles, chapters, reports, manuals and datasets, and many presentations have been delivered to share insights gained from the work done by Herana. Given its prolific dissemination, it seems reasonable to ask whether this fourth and final publication will offer the reader anything new. This book is certainly different from previous publications in several respects. First, it is the only book to include an analysis of eight African universities based on the full 15 years of empirical data collected by the project. Second, previous books and reports were published mid-project. This book has benefited from an extended gestation period allowing the authors and contributors to reflect on the project without the distractions associated with managing and participating in a large-scale project. For the first time, some of those who have been involved in Herana since its inception have had the opportunity to at least make an attempt to see part of the wood for the trees. Different does not necessarily mean new. An emphasis on the newness of the data and perspectives presented in this book is important because it shows that it is more than a historical record of a donor-funded project. Rather, each chapter in this book brings, to a lesser or greater extent, something new to our understanding of universities, research and development in Africa.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331872_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20181105 2018 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331872 06 15 9781928331889 06 15 9781928331896 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:a7c49e09-1a28-4831-848f-e568fa39406d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a7c49e09-1a28-4831-848f-e568fa39406d 15 9781928502982 06 10.47622/9781928502951 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:a7c49e09-1a28-4831-848f-e568fa39406d 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502951.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/flagship-universities/ 1 A01 James Ransom 01 ORCID 0000-0002-3377-5414 01 eng 00 112 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502951_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20240926 2024 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502951 06 15 9781928502982 06 15 9781928502975 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:5919d877-5556-4b9d-b554-b7d92753eb2c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5919d877-5556-4b9d-b554-b7d92753eb2c 15 9781920299101 06 10.47622/9781920299101 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:5919d877-5556-4b9d-b554-b7d92753eb2c 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/risk-and-opportunity-2008-transformation-audit/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Risk%20and%20Opportunity%20-%20Transformation%20Audit%202008.pdf 1 B01 Jan Hofmeyr 01 eng 00 108 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20120319 2012 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920299101 06 15 9781920299101 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:7b1e1290-3167-40c7-ab1c-4d9ec741d3c4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:7b1e1290-3167-40c7-ab1c-4d9ec741d3c4 15 9781928502906 06 10.47622/9781928502890 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:7b1e1290-3167-40c7-ab1c-4d9ec741d3c4 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/rocklands/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502890.pdf 1 A01 Liezille Jean Jacobs 01 ORCID 0000-0003-1754-2482 01 eng 00 176 03 20 psychology 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>In Rocklands, Liezille Jacobs reframes psychology not only as a profession, but as a profound calling that is intertwined with personal and societal evolution. Traversing her own personal journey from her adverse childhood experiences in Rocklands, Mitchell’s Plain, to being the first black Head of Department at Rhodes University in 120 years, Jacobs illuminates the interconnectedness of personal, professional and public roles, advocating for a shift from careerism to a movement grounded in shared values and principles.</p><p>At the same time, the book makes a brave and erudite scholarly contribution to the field of psychology. Its method is unconventional but carefully considered. Those who have provided comments on the manuscript unanimously concur – this book is essential reading for students and academics, families and patriarchs in equal measure.</p><p>The transformation imperative within psychology demands a stance of activism, if not revolution, against systems of oppression. This stance urges readers to view this book not only as an academic exercise but as a profound transformative exploration of “giving psychology away”; emphasising the idea of making psychological knowledge and expertise more accessible to the general public and sharing the benefits of psychological science with society to improve people’s lives.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502890_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20240801 2024 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502890 06 15 9781928502906 06 15 9781928502913 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:683c6b97-36e5-4e28-ad8f-59cd72c246a6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:683c6b97-36e5-4e28-ad8f-59cd72c246a6 15 9781928502043 06 10.47622/9781928502036 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:683c6b97-36e5-4e28-ad8f-59cd72c246a6 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502036.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/science-communication-in-south-africa-reflections-on-current-issues/ 1 B01 Peter Weingart 01 ORCID 0000-0002-8275-525X 2 B01 Marina Joubert 01 ORCID 0000-0003-0178-1796 3 B01 Bankole Falade 01 eng 00 236 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Why do we need to communicate science? Is science, with its highly specialised language and its arcane methods, too distant to be understood by the public? Is it really possible for citizens to participate meaningfully in scientific research projects and debate? Should scientists be mandated to engage with the public to facilitate better understanding of science? How can they best communicate their special knowledge to be intelligible? These and a plethora of related questions are being raised by researchers and politicians alike as they have become convinced that science and society need to draw nearer to one another. Once the persuasion took hold that science should open up to the public and these questions were raised, it became clear that coming up with satisfactory answers would be a complex challenge. The inaccessibility of scientific language and methods, due to ever increasing specialisation, is at the base of its very success. Thus, translating specialised knowledge to become understandable, interesting and relevant to various publics creates particular perils. This is exacerbated by the ongoing disruption of the public discourse through the digitisation of communication platforms. For example, the availability of medical knowledge on the internet and the immense opportunities to inform oneself about health risks via social media are undermined by the manipulable nature of this technology that does not allow its users to distinguish between credible content and misinformation. In countries around the world, scientists, policy-makers and the public have high hopes for science communication: that it may elevate its populations educationally, that it may raise the level of sound decision-making for people in their daily lives, and that it may contribute to innovation and economic well-being. This collection of current reflections gives an insight into the issues that have to be addressed by research to reach these noble goals, for South Africa and by South Africans in particular.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502036_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20191128 2019 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502036 06 15 9781928502043 06 15 9781928502050 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:4c0693db-0695-46e7-841e-ab134c72b6ff 03 01 01 urn:uuid:4c0693db-0695-46e7-841e-ab134c72b6ff 15 9781067253653 06 10.47622/9781067253653 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:4c0693db-0695-46e7-841e-ab134c72b6ff 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/sea-ice/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781067253653.pdf 01 afr 01 eng 00 88 03 10 LCO001000 10 SCI075000 10 SCI063000 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781067253653_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20250801 2025 02 WORLD 06 15 9781067253653 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:5f2691ad-bf73-4417-be03-f5c088d69641 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5f2691ad-bf73-4417-be03-f5c088d69641 15 9781920677510 06 10.47622/9781920677510 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:5f2691ad-bf73-4417-be03-f5c088d69641 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/9781920677510-content2.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/seeking-impact-and-visibility-scholarly-communication-in-southern-africa/ 1 A01 Henry Trotter 01 ORCID 0000-0001-6238-3973 2 A01 Catherine Kell 01 ORCID 0000-0003-3099-5910 3 A01 Michelle Willmers 01 ORCID 0000-0002-4925-2028 4 A01 Eve Gray 01 ORCID 0000-0002-2176-0143 5 A01 Thomas King 01 ORCID 0000-0002-6560-8995 01 eng 00 262 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>African scholarly research is relatively invisible globally because even though research production on the continent is growing in absolute terms, it is falling in comparative terms. In addition, traditional metrics of visibility, such as the Impact Factor, fail to make legible all African scholarly production. Many African universities also do not take a strategic approach to scholarly communication to broaden the reach of their scholars'work. To address this challenge, the Scholarly Communication in Africa Programme (SCAP) was established to help raise the visibility of African scholarship by mapping current research and communication practices in Southern African universities and by recommending and piloting technical and administrative innovations based on open access dissemination principles. To do this, SCAP conducted extensive research in four faculties at the Universities of Botswana, Cape Town, Mauritius and Namibia.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920677510_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20140520 2014 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920677510 06 15 9781920677510 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:5f873719-40f2-4538-b5c3-38aa8fbdb03e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5f873719-40f2-4538-b5c3-38aa8fbdb03e 15 9781920677855 06 10.47622/9781920489465 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:5f873719-40f2-4538-b5c3-38aa8fbdb03e 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/shaping-the-future-of-south-africas-youth-rethinking-post-school-education-and-skills-training/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/13407164351047234866.pdf 1 B01 Helene Perold 2 B01 Nico Cloete 3 B01 Joy Papier 01 ORCID 0000-0003-2079-9430 01 eng 00 208 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Across nine evidence-based chapters, 17 authors offer a succinct overview of the different facets of post-school provision in South Africa.

This book follows up on that event. The conference highlighted the usefulness of presenting the value of Norhed’s different projects to the world, showing how they improve knowledge and expand access to it through co-operation. A wish for more meta-knowledge was also expressed and this gives rise to the following questions: Is this way of co-operating contributing to the growth of independent post-colonial knowledge production in the South, based on analyses of local data and experiences in ways that are relevant to our shared future? Does the growth of academic independence, as well as greater equality, and the ability to develop theories different to those imposed by the better-off parts of the world, give rise to deeper understandings and better explanations? Does it, at least, spread the ability to translate existing methodologies in ways that add meaning to observations of local context and data, and thus enhance the relevance and influence of the academic profession locally and internationally? This book, in its varied contributions, does not provide definite answers to these questions but it does show that Norhed is a step in the right direction. Norhed is an attempt to fund collaboration within and between higher education institutions. We know that both the uniqueness of this programme, and ideas of how to better utilise the learning and experience emerging from it, call for more elaboration and broader dissemination before we can offer further guidance on how to do things better. This book is a first attempt.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502005_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20191019 2019 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502005 06 15 9781928502012 06 15 9781928502029 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:01aa0400-9151-47fd-a4f2-e1de4a4369d1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:01aa0400-9151-47fd-a4f2-e1de4a4369d1 15 9781928502135 06 10.47622/9781928502128 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:01aa0400-9151-47fd-a4f2-e1de4a4369d1 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/situation-open-data-global-trends-in-local-contexts/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502128.pdf 1 B01 Danny Lämmerhirt 01 ORCID 0000-0002-3233-2750 2 B01 Ana Brandusescu 01 ORCID 0000-0003-1672-5244 3 B01 Natali a Domagala 01 ORCID 0000-0003-3941-7447 4 B01 Patrick Enaholo 01 ORCID 0000-0001-9311-3263 01 eng 00 256 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Open data and its effects on society are always woven into infrastructural legacies, social relations, and the political economy. This raises questions about how our understanding and engagement with open data shifts when we focus on its situated use.</p><p>To shed a light on these questions, Situating Open Data provides several empirical accounts of open data practices, the local implementation of global initiatives, and the development of new open data ecosystems. Drawing on case studies in different countries and contexts, the chapters demonstrate the practices and actors involved in open government data initiatives unfolding within different socio-political settings.</p><p>The book proposes three recommendations for researchers, policy-makers and practitioners. First, beyond upskilling through data literacy programmes, open data initiatives should be specified through the kinds of data practices and effects they generate. Second, global visions of open data implementation require more studies of the resonances and tensions created in localised initiatives. And third, research into open data ecosystems requires more attention to the histories and legacies of information infrastructures and how these shape who benefits from open data flows.</p><p>As such, this volume departs from the framing of data as a resource to be deployed. Instead, it proposes a prism of different data practices in different contexts through which to study the social relations, capacities, infrastructural histories and power structures affecting open data initiatives. It is hoped that the contributions collected in Situating Open Data will spark critical reflection about the way open data is locally practiced and implemented. The contributions should be of interest to open data researchers, advocates, and those in or advising government administrations designing and rolling out effective open data initiatives.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502128_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20200925 2020 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502128 06 15 9781928502135 06 15 9781928502142 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:70e0999e-172c-4416-aaef-cc9a2e896b7c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:70e0999e-172c-4416-aaef-cc9a2e896b7c 15 9781920299293 06 10.47622/9781920299293 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:70e0999e-172c-4416-aaef-cc9a2e896b7c 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Some%20Developments%20in%20Research%20in%20Science%20and%20Mathematics%20in%20Sub-Saharan%20Africa.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/some-developments-in-research-in-science-and-mathematics-in-sub-saharan-africa/ 1 B01 Lorna Holtman 01 ORCID 0000-0002-8272-8593 2 B01 Cyril Julie 3 B01 Øyvind Mikalsen 4 B01 David Mtetwa 01 ORCID 0009-0002-8512-8515 5 B01 Meshach Ogunniyi 01 eng 00 408 03 10 EDU029030 10 EDU007000 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Much attention in late-developing countries is given to providing access to studies which allow school leavers to enter science and technology-related careers. These programmes are driven by the belief that graduates will then substantially contribute to the developmental needs of their countries. But is providing access to institutions enough? Students in developing countries often come from school environments lacking in resources – human, physical and financial. This book, in a number of chapters, reviews research related to the crucial dimension of epistemological access to the disciplines of import, which students need as much as institutional access in order to improve their chances of success.</p><p>A significant feature of this collection’s research studies is that their empirical bases are highly localised, covering areas such as: research methods; access; curriculum, instruction and assessment; and the relevance of science and mathematics education in Zimbabwe, Uganda, Swaziland, South Africa, Namibia, Malawi, Ghana and Lesotho.</p><p>This volume provides invaluable insights and will be of relevance to researchers, policy makers and lecturers interested in these research outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Musical styles and genres produced in Cape Town have therefore been assigned an ìidentityî which is first and foremost social. This volume tries to question the relationship established between musical styles and genres, and social --in this case pseudo-racial --identities.</p><p>In Sounding the Cape, Denis-Constant Martin recomposes and examines through the theoretical prism of creolisation the history of music in Cape Town, deploying analytical tools borrowed from the most recent studies of identity configurations. He demonstrates that musical creation in the Mother City, and in South Africa, has always been nurtured by contacts, exchanges and innovations whatever the efforts made by racist powers to separate and divide people according to their origin. Musicians interviewed at the dawn of the 21st century confirm that mixture and blending characterise all Cape Town's musics. They also emphasise the importance of a rhythmic pattern particular to Cape Town, the ghoema beat, whose origins are obviously mixed. The study of music demonstrates that the history of Cape Town, and of South Africa as a whole, undeniably fostered creole societies. Yet, twenty years after the collapse of apartheid, these societies are still divided along lines that combine economic factors and 'racial'categorisations.</p><p>Martin concludes that, were music given a greater importance in educational and cultural policies, it could contribute to fighting these divisions and promote the notion of a nation that, in spite of the violence of racism and apartheid, has managed to invent a unique common culture.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920489823_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20130516 2013 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920489823 06 15 9781920489823 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:ae782b7e-8681-4368-b393-88eb7ba231a9 03 01 01 urn:uuid:ae782b7e-8681-4368-b393-88eb7ba231a9 15 9781928502876 06 10.47622/9781928502869 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:ae782b7e-8681-4368-b393-88eb7ba231a9 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/state-power-land/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502869.pdf 1 A01 Thorvald Gran 01 ORCID 0000-0002-0625-5229 00 156 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502869_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20240930 2024 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502869 06 15 9781928502876 06 15 9781928502883 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:cc6cc393-4c9a-470f-9b1e-ed4f3b723425 03 01 01 urn:uuid:cc6cc393-4c9a-470f-9b1e-ed4f3b723425 15 9781928331230 06 10.47622/9781928331223 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:cc6cc393-4c9a-470f-9b1e-ed4f3b723425 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331223.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/student-politics-in-africa-representation-and-activism/ 1 B01 Thierry Luescher 01 ORCID 0000-0002-6675-0512 2 B01 Manja Klemencic 01 ORCID 0000-0003-4956-2584 3 B01 James Otieno Jowi 01 ORCID 0009-0000-9589-8826 01 eng 00 257 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331223_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20160303 2016 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331223 06 15 9781928331230 06 15 9781928331247 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:d23b1608-4920-4211-af73-6b5a53e71a2a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d23b1608-4920-4211-af73-6b5a53e71a2a 15 9781920677374 06 10.47622/9781920677374 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:d23b1608-4920-4211-af73-6b5a53e71a2a 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/systemic-school-improvement-interventions-in-south-africa/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/9781920677374-content.pdf 1 B01 Godwin Khosa 01 eng 00 120 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Looking at two smaller-scale systemic school improvement projects implemented in selected district circuits in the North West and Eastern Cape by partnerships between government, JET Education Services, and private sector organisations, this book captures and reflects on the experiences of the practitioners involved. The Systemic School Improvement Model developed by JET to address an identified range of interconnected challenges at district, school, classroom and household level, is made up of seven components. In reflecting on what worked and what did not in the implementation of these different components, the different chapters set out some of the practical lessons learnt, which could be used to improve the design and implementation of similar education improvement projects. Many of the lessons in this field that remain under-recorded to date relate to the step-by-step processes followed, the relationship dynamics encountered at different levels of the education system, and the local realities confronting schools and districts in South Africa's rural areas. Drawing on field data that is often not available to researchers, the book endeavours to address this gap and record these lessons. It is not intended to provide an academic review of the systemic school improvement projects. It is presented rather to offer other development practitioners working to improve the quality of education in South African schools, an understanding of some of the real practical and logistical challenges that arise and how these may be resolved to take further school improvement projects forward at a wider district, provincial and national scale.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920677374_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20140620 2014 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920677374 06 15 9781920677374 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:71602b58-d37e-4ec5-89c3-dcadb991ccad 03 01 01 urn:uuid:71602b58-d37e-4ec5-89c3-dcadb991ccad 15 9781928502258 06 10.47622/9781928502241 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:71602b58-d37e-4ec5-89c3-dcadb991ccad 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502241.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/teaching-learning-change/ 1 B01 Ingrd Schudel 01 ORCID 0000-0001-6206-4681 2 B01 Zintle Songqwaru 01 ORCID 0000-0002-7708-3487 3 B01 Sirkka Tshiningayamwe 4 B01 Heila Lotz-Sisitka 01 ORCID 0000-0002-5193-9881 01 eng 00 334 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Like many national curricula around the world, South Africa’s curriculum is rich in environment and sustainability content.

It will also be of interest to teacher educators, teachers and researchers in education more generally, and environment and sustainability education specifically.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502241_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20211215 2021 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502241 06 15 9781928502258 06 15 9781928502265 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:1cd6ad97-a10d-4174-99f7-308391f20db6 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1cd6ad97-a10d-4174-99f7-308391f20db6 15 9781928331674 06 10.47622/9781928331667 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:1cd6ad97-a10d-4174-99f7-308391f20db6 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/the-musical-artistry-of-bheki-mseleku/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331667.pdf 1 A01 Andrew Lilley 01 ORCID 0000-0002-5954-0330 01 eng 00 246 03 10 MUS050000 10 MUS025000 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331667_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20200630 2020 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331667 06 15 9781928331674 06 15 9781928331681 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:0378165c-c792-41e3-ba66-f00c3f1b7e29 03 01 01 urn:uuid:0378165c-c792-41e3-ba66-f00c3f1b7e29 15 9781920677961 06 10.47622/9781920677961 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:0378165c-c792-41e3-ba66-f00c3f1b7e29 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/OS-REC-GUIDE-web1.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/the-civil-society-guide-to-regional-economic-communities-in-africa/ 1 A01 Morris Odhiambo 01 ORCID 0000-0001-6166-2081 2 A01 Rudy Chitiga 3 A01 Solomon Ebobrah 01 ORCID 0000-0002-8094-2684 01 eng 00 138 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Since 1963, when the African integration project was born, regional Economic Communities (RECs) have been an indispensable part of the continents deeper socioeconomic and political integration. More than half a century later, such regional institutions continue to evolve, keeping pace with an Africa that is transforming itself amid challenges and opportunities. RECs represent a huge potential to be the engines that drive the continents economic growth and development as well as being vehicles through which a sense of a continental community is fostered. It is critical therefore that citizens understand the multi-faceted and bureaucratic operations of regional institutions in order to use them to advance their collective interests.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920677961_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20160125 2016 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920677961 06 15 9781920677961 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:3e789888-099d-4a6a-b9b4-79e32f34e49e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:3e789888-099d-4a6a-b9b4-79e32f34e49e 15 9781928331407 06 10.47622/9781928331391 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:3e789888-099d-4a6a-b9b4-79e32f34e49e 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/the-delusion-of-knowledge-transfer/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331391.pdf 1 A01 Susanne Koch 01 ORCID 0000-0002-6830-9077 2 A01 Peter Weingart 01 ORCID 0000-0002-8275-525X 01 eng 00 384 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>With the rise of the ‘knowledge for development’ paradigm, expert advice has become a prime instrument of foreign aid. At the same time, it has been object of repeated criticism: the chronic failure of ‘technical assistance’ – a notion under which advice is commonly subsumed – has been documented in a host of studies. Nonetheless, international organisations continue to send advisors, promising to increase the ‘effectiveness’ of expert support if their technocratic recommendations are taken up. This book reveals fundamental problems of expert advice in the context of aid that concern issues of power and legitimacy rather than merely flaws of implementation. Based on empirical evidence from South Africa and Tanzania, the authors show that aid-related advisory processes are inevitably obstructed by colliding interests, political pressures and hierarchical relations that impede knowledge transfer and mutual learning. As a result, recipient governments find themselves caught in a perpetual cycle of dependency, continuously advised by experts who convey the shifting paradigms and agendas of their respective donor governments. For young democracies, the persistent presence of external actors is hazardous: ultimately, it poses a threat to the legitimacy of their governments if their policy-making becomes more responsive to foreign demands than to the preferences and needs of their citizens.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331391_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20161003 2016 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331391 06 15 9781928331407 06 15 9781928331414 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:8137ba52-4283-45ae-b7f3-1cd3ad6e4593 03 01 01 urn:uuid:8137ba52-4283-45ae-b7f3-1cd3ad6e4593 15 9781928331544 06 10.47622/9781928331537 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:8137ba52-4283-45ae-b7f3-1cd3ad6e4593 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331537.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/the-future-of-scholarly-publishing-open-access-and-the-economics-of-digitisation/ 1 B01 Peter Weingart 01 ORCID 0000-0002-8275-525X 2 B01 Niels Taubert 01 ORCID 0000-0002-2357-2648 01 eng 00 288 03 10 EDU039000 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>The formal scientific communication system is currently undergoing significant change. This is due to four developments: the digitisation of formal science communication; the economisation of academic publishing as profit drives many academic publishers and other providers of information; an increase in the self-observation of science by means of publication, citation and utility-based indicators; and the medialisation of science as its observation by the mass media intensifies. Previously, these developments have only been dealt with individually in the literature and by science-policy actors. The Future of Scholarly Publishing documents the materials and results of an interdisciplinary working group commissioned by the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW) to analyse the future of scholarly publishing and to make recommendations on how to respond to the challenges posed by these developments.As per the working groups intention, the focus was mainly on the sciences and humanities in Germany. However, in the course of the work it became clear that the issues discussed by the group are equally relevant for academic publishing in other countries. As such, this book will contribute to the transfer of ideas and perspectives, and allow for mutual learning about the current and future state of scientific publishing in different settings.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331537_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20170928 2017 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331537 06 15 9781928331544 06 15 9781928331551 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:8aeaf6b4-b583-4d9b-a1f9-e1ac5cc037a5 03 01 01 urn:uuid:8aeaf6b4-b583-4d9b-a1f9-e1ac5cc037a5 15 9781928331940 06 10.47622/9781928331933 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:8aeaf6b4-b583-4d9b-a1f9-e1ac5cc037a5 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/the-next-generation-of-scientists/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331933.pdf 1 A01 Catherine Beaudry 01 ORCID 0000-0002-2110-3151 2 A01 Johann Mouton 01 ORCID 0000-0002-0339-7440 3 A01 Heidi Prozesky 01 ORCID 0000-0001-8091-5830 01 eng 00 216 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Young scientists are a powerful resource for change and sustainable development, as they drive innovation and knowledge creation. However, comparable findings on young scientists in various countries, especially in Africa and developing regions, are generally sparse. Therefore, empirical knowledge on the state of early-career scientists is critical in order to address current challenges faced by those scientists in Africa. This book reports on the main findings of a three-and-a-half-year international project in order to assist its readers in better understanding the African research system in general, and more specifically its young scientists. The first part of the book provides background on the state of science in Africa, and bibliometric findings concerning Africa's scientific production and networks, for the period 2005 to 2015. The second part of the book combines the findings of a large-scale, quantitative survey and more than 200 qualitative interviews to provide a detailed profile of young scientists and the barriers they face in terms of five aspects of their careers: research output; funding; mobility; collaboration; and mentoring. In each case, field and gender differences are also taken into account. The last part of the book comprises conclusions and recommendations to relevant policy- and decision-makers on desirable changes to current research systems in Africa.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331933_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20181106 2018 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331933 06 15 9781928331940 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:97c0921e-fa5f-4869-b412-1a6a221d1984 03 01 01 urn:uuid:97c0921e-fa5f-4869-b412-1a6a221d1984 15 9781920489977 06 10.47622/9781920489977 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:97c0921e-fa5f-4869-b412-1a6a221d1984 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/the-origins-of-war-in-mozambique-a-history-of-unity-and-division/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920489977.pdf 1 A01 Sayaka Funada-Classen 01 eng 02 jpn 00 440 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>The independence of Mozambique in 1975 and its decolonisation process attracted worldwide attention as a successful example of national unity. Yet, the armed conflict that broke out between the government and the guerrilla force in 1977 lasted for sixteen years and resulted in over a million deaths and several million refugees, placing this concept of national unity into doubt. For nearly twenty years, Sayaka Funada-Classen interviewed people in rural communities in Mozambique. By examining their testimonies, historical documents, previous studies, international and regional politics, and the changes that various interventions under colonialism brought to the traditional social structure, this book demonstrates that the seeds of division had already been planted while the liberation movement was seeking unity in the struggle years. Presenting a comprehensive history of contemporary Mozambique, this book is indispensable for Mozambican scholars. It promises to serve as a landmark study not only for historians and the scholars of African studies but also for those who give serious consideration to the problems of conflict and peace in the world.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920489977_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20130528 2013 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920489977 06 15 9781920489977 06 15 9781920489984 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:2dc78bdc-de63-40fd-b84e-5f7fb03d9795 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2dc78bdc-de63-40fd-b84e-5f7fb03d9795 15 9783110601183 06 10.1515/9783110601183 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:2dc78bdc-de63-40fd-b84e-5f7fb03d9795 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.1515/9783110601183.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/politics-of-housing-in-postcolonial-africa/ 1 B01 Kirsten Rüther 01 ORCID 0000-0002-9437-3769 2 B01 Martina Barker-Ciganikova 3 B01 Daniela Waldburger 01 ORCID 0000-0002-6953-8445 4 B01 Carl-Philipp Bodenstein 01 eng 00 230 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Housing matters, no matter when or where. This volume of collected essays on housing in colonial and postcolonial Africa seeks to elaborate how and why housing is much more than an everyday practice. The politics of housing unfold in disparate dimensions of time, space and agency. Depending on context, they acquire diverse, often ambivalent, meanings. Housing can be a promise, an unfulfilled dream, a tool of self- and class-assertion, a negotiation process, or a means to achieve other ends. This volume analyzes housing in its multifacetedness, be it a lens to offer insights into complex processes that shape societies; be it a tool of empire to exercise control over private relations of inhabitants; or be it a means to create good, obedient and productive citizens. Contributions to this volume range from the field of history, to architecture and urban planning, African studies, linguistics, and literature. The individual case studies home in on specific aspects and dimensions of housing and seek to bring them into dialogue with each other. By doing so, the volume aims to add to the debate on studying urban practices and their significance for current social change.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.1515/9783110601183_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20210518 2021 02 WORLD 13 15 9783110598278 06 15 9783110601183 06 15 9783110598735 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:7a98cde8-d9f0-403a-9a54-605fbe6c2215 03 01 01 urn:uuid:7a98cde8-d9f0-403a-9a54-605fbe6c2215 15 9781928331575 06 10.47622/9781928331568 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:7a98cde8-d9f0-403a-9a54-605fbe6c2215 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331568.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/the-social-dynamics-of-open-data/ 1 B01 Francois van Schalkwyk 01 ORCID 0000-0002-1048-0429 2 B01 Stefaan Verhulst 01 ORCID 0000-0001-6566-6071 3 B01 Gustavo Magalhaes 4 B01 Juan Pane 5 B01 Johanna Walker 01 eng 00 208 03 10 SOC000000 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>The Social Dynamics of Open Data is a collection of peer reviewed papers presented at the 2nd Open Data Research Symposium (ODRS) held in Madrid, Spain, on 5 October 2016. Research is critical to developing a more rigorous and fine-combed analysis not only of why open data is valuable, but how it is valuable and under what specific conditions. The objective of the Open Data Research Symposium and the subsequent collection of chapters published here is to build such a stronger evidence base. This base is essential to understanding what open datas impacts have been to date, and how positive impacts can be enabled and amplified. Consequently, common to the majority of chapters in this collection is the attempt by the authors to draw on existing scientific theories, and to apply them to open data to better explain the socially embedded dynamics that account for open datas successes and failures in contributing to a more equitable and just society.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331568_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20171212 2017 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331568 06 15 9781928331575 06 15 9781928331582 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:48c5a742-a138-465d-b7f0-021feb8f463b 03 01 01 urn:uuid:48c5a742-a138-465d-b7f0-021feb8f463b 15 9781552506127 06 10.47622/9781928331957 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:48c5a742-a138-465d-b7f0-021feb8f463b 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331957.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/state-of-open-data/ 1 B01 Tim Davies 2 B01 Mor Rubinstein 01 ORCID 0000-0002-0509-9164 3 B01 Fernando Perini 01 eng 00 590 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Its been ten years since open data first broke onto the global stage. Over the past decade, thousands of programmes and projects around the world have worked to open data and use it to address a myriad of social and economic challenges. Meanwhile, issues related to data rights and privacy have moved to the centre of public and political discourse. As the open data movement enters a new phase in its evolution, shifting to target real-world problems and embed open data thinking into other existing or emerging communities of practice, big questions still remain. How will open data initiatives respond to new concerns about privacy, inclusion, and artificial intelligence? And what can we learn from the last decade in order to deliver impact where it is most needed? The State of Open Data brings together over 60 authors from around the world to address these questions and to take stock of the real progress made to date across sectors and around the world, uncovering the issues that will shape the future of open data in the years to come.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331957_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20190515 2019 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331957 06 15 9781552506127 06 15 9781928331964 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:2fbe75a4-328f-4bd2-ac4b-bd1a244d4009 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2fbe75a4-328f-4bd2-ac4b-bd1a244d4009 15 9781920355678 06 10.47622/9781920355678 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:2fbe75a4-328f-4bd2-ac4b-bd1a244d4009 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/13407158341238733124.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/the-university-in-africa-and-democratic-citizenship/ 1 A01 Thierry Luescher-Mamashela 01 ORCID 0000-0002-6675-0512 01 eng 00 138 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Whether and how higher education in Africa contributes to democratisation beyond producing the professionals that are necessary for developing and sustaining a modern political system, remains an unresolved question. This report, then, represents an attempt to address the question of whether there are university specific mechanisms or pathways by which higher education contributes to the development of democratic attitudes and behaviours among students, and how these mechanisms operate and relate to politics both on and off campus. The research contained in this report shows that the potential of a university to act as training ground for democratic citizenship is best realised by supporting students' exercise of democratic leadership on campus. This, in turn, develops and fosters democratic leadership in civil society. Thus, the university's response to student political activity, student representation in university governance and other aspects of extra-curricular student life needs to be examined for ways in which African universities can instil and support democratic values and practices. Encouraging and facilitating student leadership in various forms of on-campus political activity and in a range of student organisations emerges as one of the most promising ways in which African universities can act as training grounds for democratic citizenship. The project on which this report is based forms part of a larger study on Higher Education and Democracy in Africa, undertaken by the Higher Education Research and Advocacy Network in Africa (HERANA). HERANA is coordinated by the Centre for Higher Education Transformation in South Africa.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920355678_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20120528 2012 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920355678 06 15 9781920355678 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:35f4af22-a48e-4ab6-ae68-418aaee262ad 03 01 01 urn:uuid:35f4af22-a48e-4ab6-ae68-418aaee262ad 15 9781920489625 06 10.47622/9781920051839 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:35f4af22-a48e-4ab6-ae68-418aaee262ad 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920051839.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/towards-a-people-driven-african-union/ 1 B01 AfriMAP 01 eng 00 78 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>This report is the first independent, substantive and public assessment of the progress of the African Union. Towards a People-Driven African Union: Current Obstacles and New Opportunities analyses the preparations of African Union member-states, the AU Commission and civil society organisations for the twice-yearly AU summits. The main finding is that despite some welcome new opportunities for participation, the African Union's vision of 'an Africa driven by its own citizens' remains largely unfulfilled. Detailed recommendations are offered to help deliver on this vision in future. Published by AFRODAD, AfriMAP and Oxfam, this report is endorsed by more than a dozen other organisations in Africa and elsewhere, and is based on interviews with more than 50 representatives of member-states, the AU Commission and civil society organisations in eleven African countries.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920051839_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20120824 2012 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920051839 06 15 9781920489625 06 15 9781920489601 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:821069bf-42a0-49ff-a5be-9af2a36cda93 03 01 01 urn:uuid:821069bf-42a0-49ff-a5be-9af2a36cda93 15 9781920489991 06 10.47622/9781920489991 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:821069bf-42a0-49ff-a5be-9af2a36cda93 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/9781920489991_content1.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/trading-places-accessing-land-in-african-cities/ 1 B01 Mark Napier 01 ORCID 0000-0001-7283-9882 2 B01 Stephen Berrisford 01 ORCID 0000-0003-0367-9242 3 B01 Caroline Kihato 01 ORCID 0000-0003-2311-4935 4 B01 Rod McGaffin 5 B01 Lauren Royston 01 eng 00 144 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Trading Places is about urban land markets in African cities. It explores how local practice, land governance and markets interact to shape the ways that people at society's margins access land to build their livelihoods. The authors argue that the problem is not with markets per se, but in the unequal ways in which market access is structured. They make the case for more equal access to urban land markets, not only for ethical reasons, but because it makes economic sense for growing cities and towns. If we are to have any chance of understanding and intervening in predominantly poor and very unequal African cities, we need to see land and markets differently. New migrants to the city and communities living in slums are as much a part of the real estate market as anyone else; they're just not registered or officially recognised. This book highlights the land practices of those living on the city's margins, and explores the nature and character of their participation in the urban land market. It details how the urban poor access, hold and trade land in the city, and how local practices shape the city, and reconfigures how we understand land markets in rapidly urbanising contexts. Rather than developing new policies which aim to supply land and housing formally but with little effect on the scale of the need, it advocates an alternative approach which recognises the local practices that already exist in land access and management. In this way, the agency of the poor is strengthened, and households and communities are better able to integrate into urban economies.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920489991_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20131101 2013 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920489991 06 15 9781920489991 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:46ba7634-d819-4b0e-a33b-04ff2f6288c4 03 01 01 urn:uuid:46ba7634-d819-4b0e-a33b-04ff2f6288c4 15 9781928502777 06 10.47622/9781928502760 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:46ba7634-d819-4b0e-a33b-04ff2f6288c4 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/transformative-innovation-covid/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502760.pdf 1 A01 Erika Kraemer-Mbula 01 ORCID 0000-0002-1779-2126 2 A01 Rebecca Hanlin Hanlin 01 ORCID 0000-0001-8391-9992 3 A01 Rob Byrne 01 ORCID 0000-0002-0906-3820 4 A01 Chux Daniels 01 ORCID 0000-0002-5179-4176 5 A01 Ann Kingiri 01 ORCID 0000-0002-7006-8508 01 eng 00 402 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502760_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ South Africa 04 20230401 2023 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502760 06 15 9781928502777 06 15 9781928502784 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:fb97bd2d-01b3-4e54-8566-1e09dbf2730c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:fb97bd2d-01b3-4e54-8566-1e09dbf2730c 15 9782954099484 06 10.47622/9782954099477 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:fb97bd2d-01b3-4e54-8566-1e09dbf2730c 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/transformer-lexcellence-en-recherche/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9782954099477.pdf 1 B01 Erika Kraemer-Mbula 01 ORCID 0000-0002-1779-2126 2 B01 Robert Tijssen 01 ORCID 0000-0001-5237-9583 3 B01 Matthew Wallace 01 ORCID 0000-0001-5407-8653 4 B01 Robert McLean 01 ORCID 0000-0001-8084-4817 01 fre 00 301 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>La science contemporaine est soumise à de fortes pressions.

A potent mix of increasing expectations, limited resources, tensions between competition and cooperation, and the need for evidence-based funding is creating major change in how science is conducted and perceived. Amidst this ‘perfect storm’ is the allure of ‘research excellence’, a concept that drives decisions made by universities and funders, and defines scientists’ research strategies and career trajectories. But what is ‘excellent’ science? And how to recognise it? After decades of inquiry and debate there is still no satisfactory answer. Are we asking the wrong question? Is reality more complex, and ‘excellence in science’ more elusive, than many are willing to admit? And how should excellence be defined in different parts of the world, particularly in lower-income countries of the ‘Global South’ where science is expected to contribute to pressing development issues, despite often scarce resources? Many wonder whether the Global South is importing, with or without consenting, the flawed tools for research evaluation from North America and Europe that are not fit for purpose. This book takes a critical view of these issues, touching on conceptual issues and practical problems that inevitably emerge when ‘excellence’ is at the center of science systems. Emerging from the capacity-building work of the Science Granting Councils Initiative in sub-Saharan Africa, it speaks to scholars, as well as to managers and funders of research around the world. Confronting sticky problems and uncomfortable truths, the chapters contain insights and recommendations that point towards new solutions – both for the Global South and the Global North.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502067_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20200120 2020 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502067 06 15 9781928502074 06 15 9781928502081 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:6c84223f-b0fb-4c92-8bc3-966733af022c 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6c84223f-b0fb-4c92-8bc3-966733af022c 15 9781920677794 06 10.47622/9780621429152 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:6c84223f-b0fb-4c92-8bc3-966733af022c 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9780621429152.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/twenty-years-of-education-transformation-in-gauteng-1994-to-2014/ 1 B01 Felix Maringe 01 ORCID 0000-0002-7992-9079 2 B01 Martin Prew 01 eng 00 289 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9780621429152_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20150517 2015 02 WORLD 13 15 9780621429152 06 15 9781920677794 06 15 9781920677800 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:e41d6d68-c97f-4134-a74e-877d334a5aad 03 01 01 urn:uuid:e41d6d68-c97f-4134-a74e-877d334a5aad 15 9781928331988 06 10.47622/9781928331971 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:e41d6d68-c97f-4134-a74e-877d334a5aad 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/ubushakashatsi-mu-bumenyi-nyamuntu-nimibanire-yabantu/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331971.pdf 1 B01 Evode Mukama 01 ORCID 0000-0002-1047-8425 2 B01 Laurent Nkusi 01 kin 00 182 03 10 SOC024000 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Research in developed countries is often considered as a means to pave the way towards sustainable development in different areas of the society including science and technology, the economy, governance and security. Researchers in developing countries rarely have the opportunity to use their indigenous languages to design, plan and conduct research. Nor do they communicate in their indigenous languages to share their insights and learnings from other parts of the world with colleagues or students. Utilising the languages that researchers, students and teachers, policymakers, the community, and others interested in research understand better can help to generate new knowledge embedded in local realities where sustainable development needs to take root. That is why this book is in Kinyarwanda. The authors hope that writing this book in Kinyarwanda will increase research capacity in the humanities and social sciences in Rwanda and in the region. And that it will increase interaction between all key stakeholders in the planning and conducting of research as well as in analysing, monitoring and evaluating the research process and its outputs.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331971_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20191018 2019 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331971 06 15 9781928331988 06 15 9781928331995 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:8772534b-80cf-4b50-b65b-3d3f457050c9 03 01 01 urn:uuid:8772534b-80cf-4b50-b65b-3d3f457050c9 15 9781928502319 06 10.47622/9781928502302 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:8772534b-80cf-4b50-b65b-3d3f457050c9 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502302.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/umzantsi_classics/ 1 B01 Samantha Masters 01 ORCID 0000-0002-2254-694X 2 B01 Imkhita Nzungu 3 B01 Grant Parker 01 eng 00 274 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>How does (u)Mzantsi classics (of southern Africa) look in an era of profound change, whether violent or otherwise?

The three key findings presented in this report are as follows: 1. There is a lack of clarity and agreement (pact) about a development model and the role of higher education in development, at both national and institutional levels. There is, however, an increasing awareness, particularly at government level, of the importance of universities in the global context of the knowledge economy. 2. Research production at the eight African universities is not strong enough to enable them to build on their traditional undergraduate teaching roles and make a sustained contribution to development via new knowledge production. A number of universities have manageable student-staff ratios and adequately qualifi ed staff, but inadequate funds for staff to engage in research. In addition, the incentive regimes do not support knowledge production. 3. In none of the countries in the sample is there a coordinated effort between government, external stakeholders and the university to systematically strengthen the contribution that the university can make to development. While at each of the universities there are exemplary development projects that connect strongly to external stakeholders and strengthen the academic core, the challenge is how to increase the number of these projects. The project on which this report is based forms part of a larger study on Higher Education and Economic Development in Africa, undertaken by the Higher Education Research and Advocacy Network in Africa (HERANA). HERANA is coordinated by the Centre for Higher Education Transformation in South Africa.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920355807_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20110411 2011 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920355739 06 15 9781920355739 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:941eb6d8-f110-4559-b364-956b33f73508 03 01 01 urn:uuid:941eb6d8-f110-4559-b364-956b33f73508 15 9781920355678 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:941eb6d8-f110-4559-b364-956b33f73508 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/13407158341238733124.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/the-university-in-africa-and-democratic-citizenship/ 00 117 03 01 06 04 01 https://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/the_uni_africa_cover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 11 20120518 2012 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920355678 20250701 African Minds 09 99 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:46c34fc7-f528-44e3-a7ec-67590c6c86de 03 01 01 urn:uuid:46c34fc7-f528-44e3-a7ec-67590c6c86de 15 9781928502654 06 10.47622/9781928502647 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:46c34fc7-f528-44e3-a7ec-67590c6c86de 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/who-counts/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502647.pdf 1 A01 David Mills 01 ORCID 0000-0002-5589-6997 2 A01 Patricia Kingori 01 ORCID 0000-0001-5420-2183 3 A01 Abigail Branford 01 ORCID 0000-0002-4353-928X 4 A01 Samuel Chatio 01 ORCID 0000-0001-9998-748X 5 A01 Natasha Robinson 6 A01 Paulina Tindana 01 ORCID 0000-0002-9171-2083 01 eng 00 227 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502647_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ South Africa 04 20230125 2023 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502647 06 15 9781928502654 06 15 9781928502661 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:64c8d54f-dfca-457e-a526-b0ccb88b79d2 03 01 01 urn:uuid:64c8d54f-dfca-457e-a526-b0ccb88b79d2 15 9781928331629 06 10.47622/9781928331629 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:64c8d54f-dfca-457e-a526-b0ccb88b79d2 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/wildland-fire-management-handbook-for-sub-sahara-africa/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Wildland%20Fire%20Management%20Handbook%20for%20Sub-Sahara%20Africa.pdf 1 B01 Johann G.

It does so by examining four country-cases – Botswana, Cote d’Ivoire, Kenya and Zambia – while referring to South Africa as a possible exemplar case.</p><p>The book reaffirms that the majority of governments in Africa spend less than one per cent of their GDP on research and development (R&D) despite the commitment to raise their research funding levels contained in the Lagos Plan of Action (1980). Hence, reliance on external funding for research persists on the continent.</p><p>To manage research engagements and public funds, Science Granting Councils (SGCs) have been established. These institutions are held account- able for how public funds are spent and how the research they fund contributes to the advancement of society.</p><p>To-date, the SGCs and researchers have demonstrated in various ways how funded research contributes to the advancement of society. However, there appear to be differences in opinion amongst key stakeholders in terms of what constitutes research priorities as well as expectations in terms of the returns on research investments made.</p><p>This book brings to the fore the importance of research and its outcome on societal development, and reveals the stake that African governments hold in the process. The book encourages African governments to show greater commitment to providing funding for research on the continent. This is critical if governments are to assume a lead role in the continent’s development agenda. It would also set the stage for partnerships with other stakeholders, including industry and funding organisations. Researchers are also encouraged to work closely with the SGCs to ensure the valorisation of research products for societal benefit. This has a potential to unlock more funding for research in Africa which, in turn, would drive the development of the continent.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502791_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ South Africa 04 20231001 2023 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502791 06 15 9781928502807 06 15 9781928502814 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:9b145225-16a8-405d-a56d-fc04be17cc7e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9b145225-16a8-405d-a56d-fc04be17cc7e 15 9781920299170 06 10.47622/9781920299170 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:9b145225-16a8-405d-a56d-fc04be17cc7e 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/An%20Audit%20of%20Police%20Oversight%20in%20Africa.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/an-audit-of-police-oversight-in-africa/ 01 eng 00 119 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>APCOF is a network of African policing practitioners drawn from state and non-state institutions.

But what should that role be? Is there evidence that this is already occurring in South Africa, despite the lack of a national policy framework? What plans and programmes are in place, and what is needed to expand the development agency of universities at the local level? Who and what might be involved? Where should the focus lie, and who might benefit most, and why? Is there a need perhaps to approach the challenges of college towns, secondary cities and metropolitan centers differently?</p><p>This book poses some of these questions as it considers the experiences of a number of South African universities, including Wits, Pretoria, Nelson Mandela University and especially Fort Hare as one of its post-centenary challenges.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331759_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20181026 2018 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331759 06 15 9781928331766 06 15 9781928331773 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:225198da-3ace-498a-9bad-38f2075065d1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:225198da-3ace-498a-9bad-38f2075065d1 15 9781920299286 06 10.47622/9781920299286 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:225198da-3ace-498a-9bad-38f2075065d1 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Beyond-Memory.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/beyond-memory/ 1 A01 Sello Galane 01 eng 00 360 03 10 MUS014000 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Beyond Memory: Recording the History, Moments and Memories of South African Music is an invaluable publication because it offers a first-hand account of the South African music scene of the past decades from the pen of a man, Max Thamagana Mojapelo, who was situated in the very thick of things, thanks to his job as a DJ at the South African Broadcasting Corporation.

We have to listen to what has made and makes a city. The ear is an integral part of the 'research tools' one needs to get a sense of any city. We have to listen to the sounds that made and make the expansive 'mother city'. Various of its constituent parts sound different from each other… There is the sound of the singing men and their choirs ("teams" they are called) in preparation for the longstanding annual Malay choral competitions. The lyrics from the various repertoires they perform are hardly ever written down. There are texts of the hallowed ‘Dutch songs’ but these do not circulate easily and widely. Researchers dream of finding lyrics from decades ago, not to mention a few generations ago - back to the early 19th century. This work by Denis Constant Martin and Armelle Gaulier provides us with a very useful selection of these songs. More than that, it is a critical sociological reflection of the place of these songs and their performers in the context that have given rise to them and sustains their relevance. It is a necessary work and is a very important scholarly intervention about a rather neglected aspect of the history and present production of music in the city."</p><p>- Shamil Jeppie, Associate Professor in the Department of Historical Studies at the University of Cape Town</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331506_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20161003 2016 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331506 06 15 9781928331513 06 15 9781928331520 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:927ae3c9-ad6c-42c2-a0a7-680b9e9b6853 03 01 01 urn:uuid:927ae3c9-ad6c-42c2-a0a7-680b9e9b6853 15 9781920299309 06 10.47622/9781920299309 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:927ae3c9-ad6c-42c2-a0a7-680b9e9b6853 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/career-choice-the-voices-of-music-students/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Career%20Choice%20-%20The%20Voices%20of%20Music%20Students.pdf 1 B01 Taryn Arnott Taryn Arnott 2 B01 Louise Saunders Louise Saunders 01 eng 00 135 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>“The study provides frank knowledge reflecting the pursuit of academic careers given by music students themselves, and gives a clear inside perspective informing readers of particular aspects influencing academic preference.

The book also publishes a series of empirically-based papers which together display the multi-faceted and far-sighted scope of his theoretical framework, and its fecundity for fine-grained, detailed empirical investigations on universities and development in Africa. Castells, in his afterword to this book, always looking forward, assesses the role of the university in the wake of the upheavals to the global economic order. He decides the universities function not only remains, but is more important than ever. This book will serve as an introduction to the relevance of his work for higher education in Africa for postgraduate students, reflective practitioners and researchers.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920677923_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20160503 2016 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920677923 06 15 9781920677930 06 15 9781920677947 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:2980e530-0c77-4755-a97a-554793d6259a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2980e530-0c77-4755-a97a-554793d6259a 15 9781067253769 06 10.47622/9781067253769 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:2980e530-0c77-4755-a97a-554793d6259a 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/192005149X.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/centering-on-african-practice-in-musical-arts-education/ 1 A01 Minette Mans 01 eng 00 260 03 10 MUS014000 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/192005149X_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20120312 2012 02 WORLD 06 15 9781067253769 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:0ab05295-bf27-4ec4-8a50-23b5c7e265b0 03 01 01 urn:uuid:0ab05295-bf27-4ec4-8a50-23b5c7e265b0 15 9781928331346 06 10.47622/9781928331339 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:0ab05295-bf27-4ec4-8a50-23b5c7e265b0 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331339.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/change-management-in-tvet-colleges-lessons-learnt-from-the-field-of-practice/ 1 B01 André Kraak 01 ORCID 0000-0002-1149-7556 2 B01 Andrew Paterson 3 B01 Kedibone Bok 01 eng 00 120 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>The Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college environment is marked by increasingly stark juxtapositions between what needs to be achieved in the post-school education sector and the increasing difficulty of current conditions. The ‘triple challenge’ of poverty, inequality and unemployment weighs heavily on the social, political and economic fabric of the country and expectations are high that the TVET colleges can make a pivotal contribution to counter these challenges. Despite laudable increases in TVET enrolment, the education system needs to work harder to accommodate the weight of demand for post school further education and training (FET) band qualifications from young people not in education, employment or training. At the same time, it is vital to secure adequate quality in TVET programmes which depend so much on the competence and commitment of college lecturers. This collection offers a set of research papers that provide new analytic and empirical material on:</p><p>The political economy of TVET types in different countries which, by comparison, illuminate the South African case;<break/>A periodisation of government interventions in the TVET sector over the last three decades;<break/>The unsettled state and status of TVET lecturers in relation to their job requirements and conditions of service;<break/>The halting evolution of collegial relationships between college lecturers towards higher collegiality;<break/>Employer expectations of college graduates and how colleges are responding; and<break/>An analysis of the outcomes of a college improvement intervention in Limpopo and the Eastern Cape.</p><p>This book will offer valuable information and insights for decision-makers as well as analysts of institutional change concerning links between education and economic growth, with particular regard to TVET graduates’ employment rates.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331339_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20160622 2016 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331339 06 15 9781928331346 06 15 9781928331353 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:662b7cfa-37d8-45d5-894f-84ffa1ffa2da 03 01 01 urn:uuid:662b7cfa-37d8-45d5-894f-84ffa1ffa2da 15 9781920489588 06 10.47622/9781936133291 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:662b7cfa-37d8-45d5-894f-84ffa1ffa2da 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781936133291.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/citizenship-law-in-africa-a-comparative-study-2nd-edition/ 1 A01 Bronwyn Manby 01 eng 00 110 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781936133291_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20120705 2012 02 WORLD 13 15 9781936133291 06 15 9781920489588 06 15 9781920489564 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:5cb1c1a6-75c8-4057-b0f7-ca1db5ee0b3a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:5cb1c1a6-75c8-4057-b0f7-ca1db5ee0b3a 15 9781920489588 06 10.47622/9781928331087 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:5cb1c1a6-75c8-4057-b0f7-ca1db5ee0b3a 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331087.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/citizenship-law-in-africa-a-comparative-study-3rd-edition/ 1 A01 Bronwyn Manby 01 eng 00 136 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>This third edition is a comprehensive revision of the original text, which is also updated to reflect developments at national and continental levels.

One such way, the focus of this book, is collaboration.</p><p>The collaboration approach should be promoted to the same extent that the Japanese have entrenched and exported their ‘small incremental improvement’ Kaizen approach. There are many such underexplored indigenous ways of doing business in Africa. Where improvement is required in relation to development and organisational performance, the need is not so much building new capacities as discovering and implementing more strategic and effective utilisation of existing indigenous ones. And there is no need to cringe when African culture is used to inform science.</p><p>This book uses history, interviews and documentary evidence from South Africa to weave together a story, arguments and lessons about collaboration.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502821_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ South Africa 04 20230911 2023 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502821 06 15 9781928502838 06 15 9781928502845 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:302a08ca-d68b-40a1-a5bd-4932e2177e12 03 01 01 urn:uuid:302a08ca-d68b-40a1-a5bd-4932e2177e12 15 9781920677428 06 10.47622/9781920677428 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:302a08ca-d68b-40a1-a5bd-4932e2177e12 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/TA-2013-text-and-cover-web1.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/confronting-exclusion-2013-transformation-audit/ 1 B01 Jan Hofmeyr 01 eng 00 86 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>An immediate, but only partial, remedy to the current state of affairs would be to prioritise transparency, accountability and leadership integrity within the system to restore trust in the bona fides of key institutions. The longer-term challenge will be to counter a growing sense of economic exclusion, where violent police action, rather than democratic process, is increasingly employed to stave off the manifestations of material anxiety experienced by struggling citizens.</p><p>This edition of the Transformation Audit, titled ‘Confronting Exclusion’, focuses on instances of such exclusion but, as in previous years, also prioritises the search for inclusive economic policy and future strategies to address them. By looking at each of the four chapter areas, it seeks to find answers to the challenge of a society in which the promise of true freedom and equal rights will remain only that until people feel equipped to be in charge of their own destiny and that of their children.</p></p> African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20140620 2014 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920677428 06 15 9781920677428 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:a1b98a2b-562f-4de5-aec1-5de1639e8328 03 01 01 urn:uuid:a1b98a2b-562f-4de5-aec1-5de1639e8328 15 9781928502289 06 10.47622/9781928502272 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:a1b98a2b-562f-4de5-aec1-5de1639e8328 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/democracy_discourse_relevance/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502272.pdf 1 A01 Andrea Kronstad Felde 2 A01 Tor Halvorsen 3 A01 Anja Myrtveit 01 eng 00 322 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>The privatisation of education services and the reorienting of universities towards the needs of the 'knowledge economy' have largely succeeded in transforming the discourse around the role of the academic profession in society, including in many African countries. Makerere University in Uganda has often been lauded as an example of successful transformation along neoliberal lines. However, our research into the working lives of academics at Makerere revealed a very different picture. Far from epitomising the allegedly positive outcomes of neoliberal reform, academics and postgraduate students interviewed at Makerere provide worrying insights into the undermining of a vibrant and independent academic culture. The stories of the ordinary academics on the ground, the empirical focus of the book, are in contrast to the claimed successes of the university; and the official stories of the university leadership and administration paint a picture of an academic profession in crisis. With diminishing influence on deciding what is relevant knowledge and thus on processes of democratization of their own institution and society, academic freedom is also losing its value.</p><p>This perspective from the ground-level exposes the many problems that neoliberal reforms have created for academics at Makerere, leaving them feeling disempowered, often reducing them to the status of consultants. We also show how a range of local initiatives ­are steadily increasing resistance to the neoliberal model. We consider how academics and others can further mobilise to regain control over what knowledge is considered relevant, and thereby deepen democracy. In so doing, we aim to highlight some responses and actions that have proven effective so far.</p><p>Democracy and the Discourse of Relevance will hopefully help to change the systems that value knowledge in ways that are driving research institutions towards competitive and market-like behaviour. We also aim to contribute to contemporary debates about what knowledge is relevant.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502272_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20210817 2021 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502272 06 15 9781928502289 06 15 9781928502296 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:0dddb366-a5f8-4843-87b6-b04266972515 03 01 01 urn:uuid:0dddb366-a5f8-4843-87b6-b04266972515 15 9781920355043 06 10.47622/9781920355043 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:0dddb366-a5f8-4843-87b6-b04266972515 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Dick%20Fehnel%20-%20Lessons%20from%20Gravers%20School.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/dick-fehnel-lessons-from-gravers-school/ 1 A01 Richard Fehnel 01 eng 00 171 03 10 BIO000000 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920355043_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20120528 2012 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920355043 06 15 9781920355043 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:b2e828af-5fa4-45ae-984f-d4360ba31aaa 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b2e828af-5fa4-45ae-984f-d4360ba31aaa 15 9781928502715 06 10.47622/9781928502708 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:b2e828af-5fa4-45ae-984f-d4360ba31aaa 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/digital-technology-capacity-development/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502708.pdf 1 B01 Joanna Wild 01 ORCID 0000-0002-1263-7768 2 B01 Femi Nzegwu 01 ORCID 0000-0003-2208-4498 3 A23 Laura Czerniewicz 01 ORCID 0000-0002-1239-7493 01 eng 00 171 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Part 1 sets out the main thinking that informs our overall approach and the frameworks that guide our practice.<break/>Part 2 explores a series of assumptions about technology-enhanced learning (TEL) that are common in the literature and against which we tested our data.

Readers and doctoral supervisors outside Africa will learn much about the challenging world of doctoral supervision in Africa.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781067253530_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20250220 2025 02 WORLD 13 15 9781067253530 06 15 9781067253547 06 15 9781067253554 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:c150ea38-7257-478e-82dd-830939160836 03 01 01 urn:uuid:c150ea38-7257-478e-82dd-830939160836 15 9781928331070 06 10.47622/9781928331001 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:c150ea38-7257-478e-82dd-830939160836 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/doctoral-education-in-south-africa/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331001.pdf 1 A01 Nico Cloete 2 A01 Johann Mouton 01 ORCID 0000-0002-0339-7440 3 A01 Charles Sheppard 01 ORCID 0000-0001-7646-0458 01 eng 00 171 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>This book is unique in the area of research into doctoral studies because it draws on a large number of studies conducted by the Centre of Higher Education Trust (CHET) and the Centre for Research on Evaluation, Science and Technology (CREST) over the past decade. In addition to these historical studies, new quantitative and qualitative research was undertaken to produce the evidence base for the anbalyses presented in the book.

The bodies that manage and conduct elections are, therefore, coming under intense citizen and stakeholder scrutiny for the manner in which they are composed, how they organise and perform their mandates, and the outcomes they achieve. The effectiveness of electoral management bodies (EMBs) has largely been influenced by the impact of political violence on election management reforms in East Africa. Even in countries where EMBs are the products of reforms initiated in the aftermath of violent disputes over elections, they still face enormous challenges in dealing with electoral disputes and anticipating election-related crises. Although changes to constitutions and the laws in these countries have sought to make EMBs independent and, therefore, more inclined to deliver free, fair and credible elections, there are many issues that determine their impartiality and their ability to allow for the aggregation and free expression of the will of the people. These shortcomings negatively impact on democracy. This volume assembles case studies on the capacity of EMBs in these five East African countries to deliver democratic and transparent elections.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920677978_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20160229 2016 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920677978 06 15 9781928331179 06 15 9781928331186 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:1649b4c3-e4e6-4a2f-bd52-61ae04da7754 03 01 01 urn:uuid:1649b4c3-e4e6-4a2f-bd52-61ae04da7754 15 9781928332183 06 10.47622/9781928332176 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:1649b4c3-e4e6-4a2f-bd52-61ae04da7754 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928332176.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/election-management-bodies-in-southern-africa/ 1 B01 Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA) 01 eng 00 345 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Over the past two decades, Southern African countries have entrenched the use of elections as the only means and medium for electing governments and representative institutions in governance. Electoral Management Bodies (EMBs) are central to the delivery and quality of elections. These institutions are mandated to manage most or all aspects of the electoral process. Informed by diverse factors – the design, mandate, extent of powers and even the number of institutions responsible for electoral matters vary in each country. This study is a collaborative effort between the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA), the Open Society Foundation’s Africa Regional Office (AfRO) and the Electoral Commissions Forum of the Southern African Development Community (ECF-SADC). For each of the 12 countries, the research covered:</p><p>1. Comparative analysis of the legal frameworks the EMBs operate under and of the historical and political contexts they function within</p><p>2. Comparative study of the institutional nature of the EMBs</p><p>3. Assessment of the powers vested in the EMBs in the conduct and management of electoral processes and their role in the drafting of electoral laws, managing electoral operations, certifying and proclaiming electoral results, ensuring that electoral results are credible, and in resolving electoral conflicts</p><p>4. Comparative assessment of the independence of the EMBs with particular reference to funding and their relationships with the executive, political parties, parliament and the judiciary (electoral justice mechanisms)</p><p>Findings and recommendations from this pan-African initiative are expected to increase information and knowledge on the strengths, weaknesses and workings of EMBs in sub-Saharan Africa to facilitate peer learning among African election managers, as well as informing policy-makers, legislators, governments and civil society on a progressive reform agenda to strengthen inclusive electoral processes and democratic practice.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928332176_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20170417 2017 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928332176 06 15 9781928332183 06 15 9781928332190 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:b79843cb-615a-4583-b818-b3d29b19469e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:b79843cb-615a-4583-b818-b3d29b19469e 15 9781920489748 06 10.47622/9781920489168 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:b79843cb-615a-4583-b818-b3d29b19469e 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/election-management-bodies-in-west-africa/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920489168.pdf 1 A01 Ismaila Fall 2 A01 Mathias Hounkpe 3 A01 Adele Jinadu 4 A01 Pascal Kambale 01 eng 00 246 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>This report is an in-depth study of electoral commissions in six countries of West Africa Benin, Cape Verde, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal and Sierra Leone assessing their contribution in strengthening political participation in the region. As institutions that apply the rules governing elections, electoral management bodies (EMBs) have occupied, over the last two decades, the heart of discussion and practice on the critical question of effective citizen participation in the public affairs of their countries. The way in which they are established and the effectiveness of their operations have continued to preoccupy those who advocate for competitive elections, while reforms to the EMBs have taken centre stage in more general political reforms. Election Management Bodies in West Africa thus responds to the evident need for more knowledge about an institution that occupies a more and more important place in the political process in West Africa. Based on documentary research and detailed interviews in each country, the study provides a comparative analysis which highlights the similarities and differences in the structure and operations of each body, and attempts to establish the reasons for their comparative successes and failures.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920489168_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20160523 2016 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920489168 06 15 9781920489748 06 15 9781920489724 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:9e62575b-f650-46ed-9ac5-f3f92a495865 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9e62575b-f650-46ed-9ac5-f3f92a495865 15 9781067253745 06 10.47622/9781067253745 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:9e62575b-f650-46ed-9ac5-f3f92a495865 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/emerging-solutions-for-musical-arts-education-in-africa/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/1920051112.pdf 1 B01 Anri Herbst 01 ORCID 0000-0002-3679-5031 01 eng 00 349 03 10 MUS015000 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>True to the spirit of ubuntu – an individual is only a person through other people (their communities) – this publication is a reflection of the essence of an overarching sub-Saharan philosophy; the contents represents a conference where papers were not presented, but where conference participants engaged to discuss solutions for the musical arts on the African continent.</p><p>While the individual voice has been given its rightful place, the collective voice represents an emergent song composed by the scholarly community in oral fashion.</p><p>This publication provides insight into the problems of musical arts education in Africa; and solutions for musical arts education.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/1920051112_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20120312 2012 02 WORLD 06 15 9781067253745 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:7fcd3479-d671-48c2-b220-09365d74b429 03 01 01 urn:uuid:7fcd3479-d671-48c2-b220-09365d74b429 15 9781928502746 06 10.47622/9781928502739 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:7fcd3479-d671-48c2-b220-09365d74b429 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502739.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/flow/ 1 B01 Mehita Iqani 01 ORCID 0000-0001-9746-8766 2 B01 Wamuwi Mbao 01 ORCID 0000-0002-4026-7872 01 eng 00 96 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>The practice and theory of science communication can take many forms.

Student numbers in South Africa have doubled since democracy and for many families, higher education is a route to a better future for their children. But alongside the overwhelming demand for higher education, questions about its purposes have intensified. Deliberations about the curriculum, culture and costing of public higher education abound from student activists, academics, parents, civil society and policy-makers. We know, from macro research, that South African graduates generally have good employment prospects. But little is known at a detailed level about how young people actually make use of their university experiences to craft their life courses. And even less is known about what happens to those who drop out. This accessible book brings together the rich life stories of 73 young people, six years after they began their university studies. It traces how going to university influences not only their employment options, but also nurtures the agency needed to chart their own way and to engage critically with the world around them. The book offers deep insights into the ways in which public higher education is both a private and public good, and it provides significant conclusions pertinent to anyone who works in and cares about universities.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331698_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20180218 2018 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331698 06 15 9781928331704 06 15 9781928331711 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:648c290c-a716-42b3-b254-e4986b869a34 03 01 01 urn:uuid:648c290c-a716-42b3-b254-e4986b869a34 15 9781920355333 06 10.47622/9781920355333 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:648c290c-a716-42b3-b254-e4986b869a34 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/higher-education-financing-in-east-and-southern-africa/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/13407160372101493429.pdf 1 B01 Pundy Pillay 01 ORCID 0000-0002-3337-8152 01 eng 00 242 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>This nine-country study of higher education financing in Africa includes three East African states (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda), five countries in southern Africa (Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia and South Africa), and an Indian Ocean island state (Mauritius). Higher Education Financing in East and Southern Africa explores trends in financing policies, paying particular attention to the nature and extent of public sector funding of higher education, the growth of private financing (including both household financing and the growth of private higher education institutions) and the changing mix of financing instruments that these countries are developing in response to public sector financial constraints. This unique collection of African-country case studies draws attention to the remaining challenges around the financing of higher education in Africa, but also identifies good practices, lessons and common themes.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920355333_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20120528 2012 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920355333 06 15 9781920355333 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:9c5bc436-d57f-4598-9c9d-fe1d87c5fc0a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9c5bc436-d57f-4598-9c9d-fe1d87c5fc0a 15 9781920677039 06 10.47622/9781920677039 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:9c5bc436-d57f-4598-9c9d-fe1d87c5fc0a 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/higher-education-in-portuguese-speaking-african-countries/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/AM-HE-in-Lusophone-Africa-Text-and-Cover-web.pdf 1 A01 Patrício Langa 01 ORCID 0000-0002-2360-7118 01 eng 00 120 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>This publication is the result of a baseline study of the state of the higher education systems in the five Portuguese speaking countries in Africa (PALOP): Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and Sao Tome and Principe. The project was undertaken by an African international expert in the field of higher education studies and was fully sponsored and supported by the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA). The report offers a historical overview of the development of higher education in PALOP from colonial times to the present. The main objective of this baseline study is to map the landscape and dynamics of change in the higher education systems of PALOP countries. It focuses on describing the latest developments of trends of expansion, financing, governance and policy reforms closely linked to the development of higher education systems in these countries. Furthermore, the study will facilitate an informed debate and the dissemination of knowledge on the role of higher education for development in Africa.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920677039_frontcover.jpg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town, South Africa 04 20141010 2014 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920677039 06 15 9781920677039 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:2d4dcbba-057f-41df-8a4a-95581aad179d 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2d4dcbba-057f-41df-8a4a-95581aad179d 15 9781928331919 06 10.47622/9781928331902 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:2d4dcbba-057f-41df-8a4a-95581aad179d 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/higher-education-pathways-south-african-undergraduate-education-and-the-public-good/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331902.pdf 1 B01 Paul Ashwin 01 ORCID 0000-0001-7630-1748 2 B01 Jennifer Case 01 eng 00 112 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>In what ways does access to undergraduate education have a transformative impact on people and societies?

In the context of higher education, many universities and academics are seeking new insights that can shift our dependence on ways of living that rely on the exploitation of so many and the degradation of so much of our planet. This is the vision that drives SANORD and many of the researchers and institutions within its network. Although much of the research is on a relatively small scale, the vision is steadily gaining momentum, forging dynamic collaborations and pathways to new knowledge.The contributors to this book cover a variety of subject areas and offer fresh insights about chronically under-researched parts of the world. Others document and critically reflect on innovative approaches to cross-continental teaching and research collaborations. This book will be of interest to anyone involved in the transformation of higher education or the practicalities of cross-continental and cross-disciplinary academic collaboration. The Southern African-Nordic Centre (SANORD) is a network of higher education institutions from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

In order to further strengthen socio-economic development, African universities need to improve their ability to produce and apply knowledge in effective and relevant ways. In OECD countries there are several public and private sites for knowledge production, but in Africa the university is the only knowledge institution, and hardly any knowledge is produced outside of the university.</p><p>However, the performance of African universities in knowledge production has not been impressive. It has generally been acknowledged by agencies such as the African Observatory for Science, Technology and Innovation and the World Bank, as well as leading development scholars, that African universities are lagging behind the rest of the world in their knowledge production function. There has been only weak empirical evidence on the actual performance of universities, with virtually no cross-institutional and cross-country comparative research on the factors that are responsible for the poor performance of universities in knowledge production across the continent.</p><p>The crossroads African universities are facing consist of, on the one hand, a familiar path of relative decoupling between the university and its nation’s socio-economic development and, on the other hand, a path that requires far-reaching changes that could make it possible for the African university to connect much more productively to the main actors in emerging national (and in some cases regional) development and innovation networks. For the latter path to become accessible, these universities and their national authorities need research-rooted information.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920677855_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20150302 2015 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920677855 06 15 9781920677862 06 15 9781920677879 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:2af38a03-7d63-4728-9b58-2182b140edc1 03 01 01 urn:uuid:2af38a03-7d63-4728-9b58-2182b140edc1 15 9781928331438 06 10.47622/9781928331421 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:2af38a03-7d63-4728-9b58-2182b140edc1 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331421.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/la-jurisprudence-congolaise-en-matiere-de-crimes-de-droit-international/ 1 A01 Jacques B Mbokani 01 ORCID 0000-0002-5948-7760 01 fre 00 404 03 10 LAW051000 10 LAW026000 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>En 2004, un tribunal de Mbandaka, dans la province congolaise de l’Equateur, a décidé que le statut de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) répondait mieux que le code militaire congolais au cas qui lui était soumis.

Although there have been a few cases of evaluation studies of such programmes in Africa, a more systematic review of the lessons learnt through these programmes has not been done.</p><p>This book aims to document and reflect on the learnings from intervention programmes at three African higher education councils. It is clear that university leaders face many leadership and management challenges. This is the starting point of the book. More specific questions that are addressed include:</p><p>Have the challenges for leadership in higher education management been documented: Not only the shifts in education but the challenges and how leaders at universities have responded to them?<break/>There has been an increase in the number of interventions but little evidence of lessons learnt. What lessons have we learnt from the three training programmes?<break/>The book commences with an introduction that sets the historical context for this initiative. The remainder of the book is divided into three main parts:</p><p>Part One consists of two chapters: A review of African scholarship on university leadership and management and the history and landscape of HELM training in Africa.<break/>Part Two presents the ‘documentation and lessons learnt’ from the three country initiatives.<break/>Part Three consists of two chapters: the first describes in detail the monitoring and evaluation process that ran concurrently with the implementation of the country training programmes; the second reviews the uptake and impact of these programmes.<break/>The following stakeholder groupings will find the book useful: HE councils (especially in Africa) and other bodies that are in the business of designing and implementing interventions; senior leadership and management at African universities; international donor agencies and other agencies; and evaluators and scholars in the field of higher education.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920677893_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20150517 2015 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920677893 06 15 9781920677909 06 15 9781920677916 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:fea4c10a-6c14-4195-8b5d-c05fc389cc9f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:fea4c10a-6c14-4195-8b5d-c05fc389cc9f 15 9781067253721 06 10.47622/9781067253714 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:fea4c10a-6c14-4195-8b5d-c05fc389cc9f 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Kraak-Linkages-Edn-Industry-TEXT-23-June-2025-WEB.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/linking-education-economy/ 1 A01 André Kraak 01 ORCID 0000-0002-1149-7556 01 eng 00 191 03 10 EDU032000 10 BUS070040 10 BUS092000 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Linking Education and the Local Economy examines the collapse of linkages between South Africa’s post-school education and training system and the declining furniture industry. Using a case study approach, it explores reasons behind the erosion of the sector’s competitiveness. The book shows how intermediaries – organisations or individuals bridging gaps between fi rms, education providers and government – could revitalise the industry by fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange and innovation.</p><p>The book contends that South Africa’s furniture industry, once thriving, has suffered due to global competition, neoliberal policies and employer disengagement from public education systems which are viewed as outdated and bureaucratic. The absence of intermediaries exacerbates these challenges, leaving fi rms isolated and innovation stagnant. While the literature highlights intermediaries as key to strengthening innovation ecosystems, South Africa’s ‘ruggedly individualistic’ business culture and state inefficiencies hinder their effectiveness. The book proposes that structured intermediation – ranging from basic networking to advanced systemic coordination – could rebuild these linkages.</p><p>Most innovation research focuses on high-tech sectors and radical innovation; this book shifts attention to traditional industries reliant on incremental innovation and tacit knowledge. It proposes a novel framework of intermediation, offering a roadmap for policymakers. Any such roadmap requires sectoral differentiation, rejecting one-size-fits-all policies. In addition, there is a need for state capability-building (enhancing public-sector intermediation skills), firm engagement (encouraging large fi rms to share knowledge and small fi rms to embrace collective learning), and reforming intermediaries (shifting from bureaucratic compliance to dynamic, network-driven roles).</p><p>The insights provided by Linking Education and the Local Economy is of interest to academics and researchers, particularly those in innovation studies, industrial policy, vocational education, and development economics; policymakers, notably government officials drafting industrial and skills development strategies and policies; and industry stakeholders, including business associations, education providers, and intermediaries seeking practical solutions for sectoral renewal. Intermediation, though underutilised in South Africa, holds promise for reconnecting education systems with industry. The empirical and theoretical insights set out in this book offer a blueprint for revitalising not only furniture but other traditional sectors facing similar crises.</p></p> 04 01 https://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/0672537.1.4_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20250624 2025 02 WORLD 13 15 9781067253714 06 15 9781067253721 06 15 9781067253738 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:6132ef79-a105-4ad3-87da-122716431a5f 03 01 01 urn:uuid:6132ef79-a105-4ad3-87da-122716431a5f 15 9781920355449 06 10.47622/9781920355449 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:6132ef79-a105-4ad3-87da-122716431a5f 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/linking-higher-education-and-economic-development/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title http://www.africanminds.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/134071564355849885.pdf 1 A01 Pundy Pillay 01 ORCID 0000-0002-3337-8152 01 eng 00 100 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781920355449_frontcover African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20120528 2012 02 WORLD 13 15 9781920355449 06 15 9781920355449 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:478977bb-1034-497e-b3ad-c797d3e9e4ed 03 01 01 urn:uuid:478977bb-1034-497e-b3ad-c797d3e9e4ed 15 9781928502401 06 10.47622/9781928502395 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:478977bb-1034-497e-b3ad-c797d3e9e4ed 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/low-income-students/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502395.pdf 1 A01 Melanie Walker 01 ORCID 0000-0002-7859-6380 2 A01 Monica McLean 01 ORCID 0000-0003-0390-4665 3 A01 Mikateko Mathebula 01 ORCID 0000-0001-5677-9293 4 A01 Patience Mukwambo 01 eng 00 121 03 20 education 10 SOC008010 20 higher education 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>This book explores learning outcomes for low-income rural and township youth at five South African universities. The book is framed as a contribution to southern and Africa-centred scholarship, adapting Amartya Sen’s capability approach and a framework of key concepts: capabilities, functionings, context, conversion factors, poverty and agency to investigate opportunities and obstacles to achieved student outcomes. This approach allows a reimagining of ‘inclusive learning outcomes’ to encompass the multi-dimensional value of a university education and a plurality of valued cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes for students from low-income backgrounds whose experiences are strongly shaped by hardship.</p><p>Based on capability theorising and student voices, the book proposes for policy and practice a set of contextual higher education capability domains and corresponding functionings orientated to more justice and more equality for each person to have the opportunities to be and to do what they have reason to value. The book concludes that sufficient material resources are necessary to get into university and flourish while there; the benefits of a university education should be rich and multi-dimensional so that they can result in functionings in all areas of life as well as work and future study; the inequalities and exclusion of the labour market and pathways to further study must be addressed by wider economic and social policies for ‘inclusive learning outcomes’ to be meaningful; and that universities ought to be doing more to enable black working-class students to participate and succeed.</p><p>Low-Income Students, Human Development and Higher Education in South Africa makes an original contribution to capabilitarian scholarship: conceptually in theorising a South-based multi-dimensional student well-being higher education matrix and a rich reconceptualisation of learning outcomes, as well as empirically by conducting rigorous, longitudinal in-depth mixed-methods research on students’ lives and experiences in higher education in South Africa. The audience for the book includes higher education researchers, international capabilitarian scholars, practitioners and policy-makers.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502395_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20220501 2022 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502395 06 15 9781928502401 06 15 9781928502418 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:9e8d5e6f-e9ea-473e-86e0-43db74de7e0a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:9e8d5e6f-e9ea-473e-86e0-43db74de7e0a 15 9781928331285 06 10.47622/9781928331278 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:9e8d5e6f-e9ea-473e-86e0-43db74de7e0a 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/mocambique-como-lugar-de-interrogacao-a-modernidade/ 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331278.pdf 1 A01 Paula Sophia Branco de Lima 01 por 00 106 03 10 SOC008010 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 03 03 <p><p>Moçambique como lugar de interrogação: a modernidade em Elísio Macamo e Severino Ngoenha é uma tentativa de procurar respostas para algumas questões que se apresentam quando pensamos dentro do escopo da ciência moderna a partir das periferias globais.

Pelo contrário, nos desafia a refletir sobre caminhos para esse pensar crítico e assume que do nosso lugar de fala, é fulcral que comecemos por interrogar alguns pressuspostos. Por isso, o nosso lugar é um excelente lugar para levantar velhos e novos questionamentos. O conceito de modernidade é exemplar para o tensionamento destas questões, porque traz à tona a dicotomia que historicamente separou colonizadores e colonizados, que é a dicotomia civilizado-selvagem, moderno-tradicional. Por detrás dele está a negociação da nossa igualdade. Refletí-lo, por isso, é uma forma de desconstruir roupagens que nunca nos couberam. O passeio através das obras de Elísio Macamo e Severino Ngoenha, autores de grande importância no pensamento social moçambicano, é uma forma de buscar algumas respostas para estas questões.</p><p>A perspicácia e fecundidade com as quais os autores se debruçam sobre a complexa relação que o continente africano estabelece com a modernidade é uma bela porta de entrada para refletirmos sobre o nosso lugar numa rede mais ampla de produção de conhecimento. Moçambique como lugar de interrogação: a modernidade em Elísio Macamo e Severino Ngoenha não é de forma alguma conclusivo, é uma busca. Mergulhar no pensamento destes autores é um convite para pensarmos nossos horizontes.</p></p> 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928331278_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20160503 2016 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928331278 06 15 9781928331285 06 15 9781928331292 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:44552f07-8c92-4b55-ac38-964d674dc06a 03 01 01 urn:uuid:44552f07-8c92-4b55-ac38-964d674dc06a 15 9780639891330 06 10.47622/9780639891330 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:44552f07-8c92-4b55-ac38-964d674dc06a 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9780639891330.pdf 01 06 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9780639891330_frontcover.jpeg African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ 02 02 WORLD 06 15 9780639891330 African Minds 09 99 01 0.01 USD urn:uuid:d1cb6e25-30d8-4597-9125-996e167eae2e 03 01 01 urn:uuid:d1cb6e25-30d8-4597-9125-996e167eae2e 15 9781928502937 06 10.47622/9781928502920 DG 002 01 Thoth WorkID urn:uuid:d1cb6e25-30d8-4597-9125-996e167eae2e 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502920.pdf 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.africanminds.co.za/night-sky/ 1 B01 Mehita Iqani 01 ORCID 0000-0001-9746-8766 2 B01 Wamuwi Mbao 01 ORCID 0000-0002-4026-7872 01 eng 00 131 03 10 SCI063000 01 06 47 Open access - no commercial use 46 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 04 01 https://books.africanminds.co.za/10.47622/9781928502920_frontcover.png African Minds 01 African Minds https://www.africanminds.co.za/ Cape Town 04 20240814 2024 02 WORLD 13 15 9781928502920 06 15 9781928502937 06 15 9781928502944 African Minds 09 99 R Open access 01 0.01 USD
