This is a groundbreaking and interdisciplinary handbook, which places the social sciences and the humanities at the centre of intellectual and deliberative efforts about policy, law, public management, knowledge, health aesthetics and feminism. Presented in three volumes, the handbook is ahead of its time and sets out the terms for the post-colonial discourse on agency, freedom and justice. Its main objective is to spark a conversation among citizens on the challenges facing the country, such as poverty, inequality and unemployment. The contributors have a deep understanding of the social, economic and political aspects of post-colonial life in South Africa and the demands for fundamental change. This understanding is the source of their concern for and reflections on complex systems of agency, freedom and justice. The social sciences and the humanities stand to benefit immensely from these reflections, not as they are filtered through the lenses of theory and ideology in the abstract, but as we encounter them in lived experience.
