Knowledge as enablement - Engagement between higher education and the third sector in South Africa (Electronic book text)

The editors and authors of this book make a strong, substantive contribution to research and practice in community-engaged scholarship in South Africa and by implication in the wider world. Scholars and practitioners looking for an in-depth, thoughtful and critical review of relevant literature will find it here in the articulately presented introduction and following chapters, a number of which report on new, original research, which expands our understanding and discussion of important elements of practice. I especially applaud the editors for focusing our attention on the assets, roles and voices of third sector organisations, the often unsung and unheard partners in engagement work.
