Faces and Phases of Resilience : A Memoir of a Special Kind

book is both a tribute and a testament to the moments, places, and people -both celebrated and unsung -that have shaped his perspective. His incisive profiles of fellow university leaders are particularly compelling.Faces and Phases of Resilience will make you think, laugh, yell, and cry. More than just a personal memoir, it is the memoir of a country, a historical epoch, and a people -an invitation into the tragedy, beauty and hope that define South Africa.Forty-nine chapters later, the book closes with a haunting essay on the scourge of xenophobia, culminating in a chillingly titled reflection, 'The Day I Die' -an ironic foretelling of Maluleke's own death -that lingers long after the final page.A literary treasure trove for seekers of exemplars and of fountains of inspiration. It is an ode to resilience. -DR REUEL J KHOZAWhat a feast! -DR JUDY DLAMINI, Chancellor of Wits UniversityMaluleke has the power and ability to engage a reader's senses ...
