Beskrivning

Thisbook maintains that South Africa, despite the official end of apartheid in1994, remains steeped in the interstices of coloniality. The author looks atthe Black Nationalist thought in South Africa and its genealogy. Colonialmodernity and coloniality of power and their equally sinister accessories, war,murder, rape and genocide have had a lasting impact onto those unfortunateenough to receive such ghastly visitations. Tafira explores a range of topicsincluding youth political movement, the social construction of blackness inAzania, and conceptualizations from the Black Liberation Movement.
