'Ausi' is the first-born daughter and traditional knowledge-holder. June Bam is the head of the San and Khoi Unit, Centre for African Studies, University of Cape Town

"This work argues that the everyday, decolonial-knowledge ecologists on the Cape Flats provide important pointers for reimagining the hybridised, precolonial pasts. Ausidi (first-born daughters; female knowledge-keepers) were and continue to be profound intergenerational knowledge-holders of those pasts." from the preface
