Tensions in South African universities have traditionally centred around equity (particularly access and affordability), historical legacies (such as apartheid and colonialism), and the shape and structure of the higher education system. What has not received sufficient attention, is the contribution of the university to place-based development. This volume is the first in South Africa to engage seriously with the place-based developmental role of universities. In the international literature and policy there has been an increasing integration of the university with place-based development, especially in cities. This volume weighs in on the debate by drawing attention to the place-based roles and agency of South African universities in their local towns and cities. It acknowledges that universities were given specific development roles in regions, homelands and towns under apartheid, and comments on why sub-national, place-based development has not been a key theme in post-apartheid, higher education planning. Given the developmental crisis in the country, universities could be expected to play a more constructive and meaningful role in the development of their own precincts, cities and regions. 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? 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.

Scholars of language ideology have encouraged us to reflect on and explore where social categories come from, how they have been reproduced, and whether and to what extent they are relevant to everyday interactional practices. Taking up on these issues, this book focuses on how ethnicity has been semiotically constructed, valued, and reproduced in Indonesia since Dutch colonial times, and how this category is drawn upon in everyday talk. In doing so, this book also seeks to engage with scholarship on superdiversity while highlighting some points of engagement with work on ideas about community. The book draws upon a broad range of scholarship on Indonesia, recordings of Indonesian television from the mid-1990s onwards, and recordings of the talk of Indonesian students living in Japan. It is argued that some of the main mechanisms for the reproduction and revaluation of ethnicity and its links with linguistic form include waves of technological innovations that bring people into contact (e.g. changes in transportation infrastructure, introduction of print media, television, radio, the internet, etc.), and the increasing use of one-to-many participation frameworks such as school classrooms and the mass media. In examining the talk of sojourning Indonesians the book goes on to explore how ideologies about ethnicity are used to establish and maintain convivial social relations while in Japan. Maintaining such relationships is not a trivial thing and it is argued that the pursuit of conviviality is an important practice because of its relationship with broader concerns about eking out a living.

Robert Kerr's 'The History of Voyages and Travels' stands as an impressive compendium of human exploration, seamlessly weaving together centuries of adventure and the unyielding quest for knowledge. Kerr's narrative traces the odyssey of humankind's geographical conquests from the intrepid voyages of the ninth century to the enlightened expeditions of the early 19th century. With a keen eye for detail and a historian's rigor, the text delineates the progress of navigation, discovery, and commerce, contextualized within the grand tapestry of historical progression. The ingenious construction of the book is evident in its systematic and chronological arrangement - a testament to the literary craftsmanship that further entrenches it within the scholarly tradition of historical literature. Robert Kerr was a man shaped by the spirit of his times. Born into an age of enlightenment and discovery, Kerr was witness to the burgeoning of knowledge that characterized his era. It is this unique positioning at the nexus of cultural and scientific renaissance that may have spurred his exhaustive compilation of voyaging lore. His work echoes the epoch's ambitions, serving as both recorder and celebrant of mankind's unstoppable march towards new horizons. Kerr's own erudition is unmistakably reflected in the meticulously researched and narrated episodes that compose this tome, making it not just a recounting of history, but a piece of the intellectual legacy of the Enlightenment. The book is highly recommended for scholars, historians, and aficionados of exploration. Kerr's 'The History of Voyages and Travels' affords a unique perspective into the evolution of exploration and its enduring effects on global cultural and economic development. It offers readers an invitation to embark on a literary journey across the canvass of time, tracing the footsteps of intrepid explorers who have charted the seemingly boundless world. This work serves not only as a historical record but also as a vibrant testament to the human spirit's quest for discovery and understanding, making it an indispensable addition to any discerning reader's library.
