My Third Ouma | My Derde Ouma | Ti !Nona||î Aumas: A Nama Midwife Story
No full textMy Third Ouma is a compelling book that delves into the heart of a Nama midwife\u27s legacy. Ten-year-old Sonnetjie, entrusted to the care of Ouma Toesie, witnesses first hand the wisdom and healing hands of a traditional midwife. As Sonnetjie\u27s mother prepares to give birth, the narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a community deeply rooted in tradition.
The book pays homage to the invaluable contributions of Nama midwives, whose knowledge is slowly fading away in the face of modern medicine. Conceptualised by Professor Siona O’Connell and Professor Loretta Feris as a response to early childhood literacy challenges, the book draws together Indigenous Knowledge Systems, heritage and mother-tongue learning. The story not only celebrates the enduring spirit of these women but also serves as a reminder of the importance of other ways of knowing.
My Third Ouma is available in English, Afrikaans, and Nama

Thinking Through Food in South Africa: Identities, Embodiment and Representation
Full text linkWhen we sit at individual or communal tables, we consider each other and our senses before taking a single bite. We think about what brought us to the table, who we are eating with, what meal will be served and possibly even where the food is from. South Africa is home to diverse cultures, histories, food heritages, culinary landscapes, food-growing and food-buying environments that collectively spice the food eaten and enjoyed by individuals and groups in the country. Food is sustenance, an access point, a historical and cultural marker and so much more. Thinking Through Food in South Africa: Identities, Embodiment and Representation explores the ways in which individuals define themselves and their role in society through food. This includes its role in school-based historical curriculum, alternative food networks, community-supported agriculture, intergenerational rituals and exchanges and its influence on economics, politics, migration and social cohesion. More than a study of ingredients, this book holds and guides a multi-layered conversation about food as home, practice and community
