| Synopsis: |
In this volume, Grant Farred explores the ways in which political fissures are being articulated in the new South Africa. By examining the politics, literature and culture of an historically disfranchised constituency - the coloured community - this collection of essays sheds critical light on the current issues raging within the post-apartheid state. From an essay explicating the coloured vote in the Western Cape, to a critical rethinking of the 1960s protest writers (how Richard Rive, Arthur Nortje and Jennifer Davids can be understood in view of recent events), to an in-depth analysis of the way that sports delineate the racial and class tensions underpinning the society, "Midfielders Moment" is an exploration of and intervention into the South African ideological landscape from the perspective of the coloured community. |
