Abstract

After centuries of white domination and decades of increasingly savage repression, freedom came to South Africa far later than elsewhere in the continent - and yet was marked by a commitment to non-racialism. Nelson Mandela's Cabinet and government were made up of women and men of all races, and many spoke of the birth of a new "Rainbow Nation". How did this come about? How did an African nationalist liberation movement resisting apartheid - a universally denounced violent expression of white supremacy - open its doors to other races, and whites in particular? And what did non-racialism mean? This is the real "miracle" of South Africa: that at the height of white supremacy and repression, black and white democrats - in their different organisations, coming from vastly different backgrounds and traditions - agreed on one thing: that the future for South Africa would be non-racial.

Abstract

"In dialogue with the dead and living - Nelson Mandela, Mahmoud Darwish, Barack Obama - internationally distinguished South African artist and writer Breyten Breytenbach's new collection of essays traces the collisions between utopia and disaster, political traumas and the renewal of hope. Notes from the Middle World is a beautiful and heart-wrenching book. Against the conformity of power, Breytenbach takes readers on a journey through the 'Middle World, ' an imagined space beyond borders and exile, toward an embracing vision of justice for the un-citizens post-modernity has dispossessed."--Back cover.

Abstract

"As apartheid ended, why did the South African academy shift from critique to subservience? Why have common-sense explanations of the social world of South Africans replaced searching questions? Why are conversations on social issues in South Africa controlled by technology, management and, until their recent collapse, the idea of markets? Why has serious thought in the new South Africa become an indecent activity? These, and other, questions are at the heart of this book which brings social theory to bear on social practice to disrupt received conceptions and representations of the social in the post-apartheid South Africa. This subversive volume seeks to revive the tradition of intellectual argument that marked apartheid's final years. Using critical theoretical perspectives, the contributors offer explanations of narrowly focused post-apartheid discourses, and imagine different orderings of contemporary South African life. "Re-imagining the Social in South Africa" aims to revitalise thinking on twenty-first century South Africa by positioning the humanities, especially its critical spirit, at the very centre of the national conversation"--Publisher's website.
