基本説明

New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2006. Drawing evidence from the works of South Africa's most celebrated contemporary writers - J.M. Coetzee, Athol Fugard, Nadine Gordimer, and others - Barnard sets up a powerful theory that stresses the centrality of physical place to literary, political, and imaginatie dominions.

Full Description

Apartheid and Beyond offers trenchant, historically sensitive readings of writings by Coetzee, Gordimer, Fugard, Tlali, Dike, Magona, and Mda, focusing on the intimate relationship between place, subjectivity, and literary form. It also explores the way apartheid functioned in its day-to-day operations as a geographical system of control, exerting its power through such spatial mechanisms as residential segregation, bantustans, passes, and prisons. Throughout the study, Rita Barnard provides historical context by highlighting key events such as colonial occupation, the creation of black townships, migration, forced removals, the emergence of informal settlements, and the gradual integration of white cities. Apartheid and Beyond is both an innovative account of an important body of politically inflected literature and an imaginative reflection on the socio-spatial aspects of the transition from apartheid to democracy.
