(Zoë Wicomb, Emeritus Professor, University of Strathclyde)Manus's linguistically attentive study is a valuable reminder to literary critics not only to return to the language of the text, but also to take seriously the practice of translation—including, crucially, same-language translation—in a culture of daunting and challenging heterogeneity. (Research in African Literatures) . Briault's comprehensive study of the socio-linguistics of black South African writing, firmly grounded in historical and political change, is nothing short of groundbreaking. Illuminating, and a pleasure to read. Innovative and well-written, it traces stylistic devices through insightful discussions of African orature, indigenization, and creolization of European languages

You can check it for yourself before buying the book. Althought it might be nice to have a 1 page bio the fact this is happening at all in remarkable. The Ethiopian tale was definitely intriguing also and disturbing. I've been creating digital art with Daz Studio for just over three years now, and there was always something missing from my renders. Nothing is hidden, the letters are just right there. This is a very cute early level graphic novel. Some real interesting illustrations, very nicely done. Once again, the mystery and story telling ability of this dynamic duo of writers keeps the reader hanging onto every word. The part that I particularly thought was a gold mine of information was the chapters on posing figures.Included with the book is a DVD (data, not video) which has a full copy of the DAZ Studio V2.3 software, plus Carrara 6
