The Special Collections Book of the Week is:

Making the road by walking: the evolution of the South African Constitution, edited by Narnia Bohler-Muller et al.

This book looks at the character and thinking of some of the judges who have helped to start the process of making our constitution real. The text reminds us that behind the structures of the state and the mechanisms of power stand human beings, in all their frailty, but also in all their courage and determination to make our country better for the poorest in it. In other words, judges who take seriously the promise of constitutional governance and of social justice under law.
