In the ninth issue of "The Shakespearean International Yearbook", guest editor Laurence Wright has assembled essays from South African critics that examine the treatment of Shakespeare’s work in South Africa as an aspect of colonial history. The special section’s emphasis on Shakespeare in the twentieth century acknowledges how the titanic political and ideological struggles that convulsed South Africa throughout the period also affected the way that Shakespeare was studied, interpreted, taught and performed. "The Shakespearean International Yearbook" continues to provide an annual

Bill Garrett was the Jackie Robinson of college basketball. In 1947, the same year Robinson broke the color line in major league baseball, Garrett integrated big-time college basketball. By joining the basketball program at Indiana University, he broke the gentleman’s agreement that had barred black players from the Big Ten, college basketball’s most important conference. While enduring taunts from opponents and pervasive segregation at home and on the road, Garrett became the best player Indiana had ever had, an all-American, and, in 1951, the third African American drafted in the

Representing a wide range of critical and theoretical perspectives, this volume examines J.M. Coetzee’s novels from "Dusklands" to "Diary of a Bad Year".

These objectives are realized in essays focusing on, among other matters, the function of names and etymology in C
