- Description
- South African literature has never been particularly perceptive in addressing the question of race. While this is especially true of writing of the apartheid period, not much has changed in the postapartheid years. Only rarely does one encounter a literary treatment of race that is aware of its performative, rather than essential, nature. Rarer still are works that are conscious of the ways in which we gain a sense of belonging by shaping our environments to affirm our raced subjectives.
