Constructing identities in a linguistically diverse learning context
This article explores the relationship between language, hegemony and identity in a desegregated school in suburban Johannesburg, South Africa.

I take the perspective…
Synecdoche and Allegory in the Filmic Record of the Memory of African Genocide in John le Carré's The Constant Gardener
This article shows that the filmic depiction of the death of Tessa Quayle, a social activist portrayed by Rachel Weisz, is a memorialised historical allegory of genocide caused by deliberate and lethal clinical trials of drugs conducted throughout Africa.

We argue that the notion of a ‘gap’ obscures the significant continuities between apartheid an…
