2018 || Paperback || Jane C. Judge || Leuven University Press

Mongameli Mabona
His Life and Work
2021 || Paperback || Ernst Wolff || Leuven University Press
Mongameli Anthony Mabona (1929) is a singular South African scholar with an exceptional life path. The history of British imperialism and apartheid shaped the world into which he was born. To a large extent, these powers had his destiny carved out for him. Nevertheless, a curious set of coincidences enabled him to obtain a tertiary education as a priest, to pursue his doctoral studies in Italy and to befriend Alioune Diop. He is one of the first published philosophers of Anglophone Africa and...

Today and Tomorrow
2019 || Paperback || Serafettin Pektas e.a. || Leuven University Press

The authors analyse the changing jihadist landscape a...
