Library

This month’s Library Highlight turns the spotlight on the most recent book by Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò: Against Decolonisation: Taking African Agency Seriously. In it, Nigerian-born Táíwò cautions readers against the overarching application of the concept of 'decolonisation' to an ever-growing range of scientific disciplines and aspects of life.

The Library has noticed that regularly clients, notably students, do not have a DVD player at their disposal anymore. Because the extensive film collection of the library - more than 2000 films - is still on DVD, the library recently purchased an external DVD drive which can be borrowed together with one or more DVDs. 

On 27 May 1977, one of the most famous Bissau-Guinean poets and musicians of the 20th century, José Carlos Schwarz, died near Havana at the age of 27. His works and actions have inspired generations of musicians, but he remains little known beyond the borders of his country.
