This
annotated bibliography was developed by the National Research Foundation as an aid to
curriculum development in the humanities and social sciences. Basic bibliographic information is provided for all listings, with full or
partial reviews of selected texts. Listings are grouped by disciplines and by full reviews. The core list of titles was taken from submissions by South African university methodology teachers. It thus
reflects the works currently used by South African methodology teachers,
and does not necessarily include the most recent published works.
