Abstract:

Two millenarian events, one in Brazil (Canudos Rebellion, 1897) and the other in South Africa (Bulhoek Massacre, 1921) have inspired two works of narrative fiction: Mario Vargas Llosa's The War of the End of the World (1981) and Mike Nicol’s This Day and Age (1992). In both novels the events are presented from the perspectives of both the oppressed landless peasants and the oppressors, who were the ruling élites. In both instances, governments which purported to be models of enlightenment and modernity resorted to violence and repression in order to uphold their authority. Vargas Llosa's novel

Abstract Focusing on Anglophone West Africa, particularly Nigeria and the Gold Coast (Ghana), this article analyses the historiography of World War Two, examining recruitment, civil defence, intelligence gathering, combat, demobilisation, and the predicament of ex-servicemen. It argues that we must avoid an overly homogeneous notion of African participation in the war, and that we should instead attempt to distinguish between combatants and non-combatants, as well as differentiating in terms of geography and education, all variables that made a significant difference to wartime labour conditio

It then undertakes close readings of three flash fictions republished in the article, each less than 450 words: Tony Eprile’s “The Interpreter for the Tribunal” (2007), which evokes the psychological and ethical complexities, and long-term ramifications, of the Truth and Reco

Historical studies of nature conservation and literary criticism of fiction concerned with the natural environment provide some pointers for the study of South African children’s literature in English. This kind of literature, in turn, has a contribution to make to studies of South African social history and literature.

Abstract:

English is in many ways the language that is assumed to be the giant in the South African literary field. The mere mention of South African literature has a different nuance to, let's say, African literature, since African literature has a vast array of national, colonial and post-colonial contexts, whereas South African literature is focused on one nation and one historical context. This difference in context is important when evaluating the use of English in South African Literature. In many ways, the South African literary field has grown, not only in number of contributors, and the diversi

But contained within that small white world is another group of whites who are opposed to the system of racial discrimination known as apartheid and stand with the country's majority.

Abstract:

Narrative perspective is a particularly relevant prism through which the relations between literature and history can be viewed. Nadine Gordimer’s novels have often been analyzed as historical artifacts that give insight on South African historical situations, and the players in the drama. This paper suggests that a narratological study of point of view and the examination of diverse perspectives in the different novels sheds light on an understanding of the conflicts enacted in her fiction. The flexibility in her manipulation of point of view is observed in particular in four novels: A Guest

The post-independence era in sub-Saharan Africa is characterized by progressive underdevelopment. From the 1960s till date no meaningful development has occurred, and all known development strategies that have so far been adopted have defied all logic. Accordingly, some social scientists and scholars of development theories have come to the sad conclusion that with respect to Africa, all development theories have hit the rocks (Chambua, 1994, p, 37). The implication is that in all spheres of human endeavour, Africa south of the Sahara has failed. The leadership problem is one of the plagues th

Abstract:

AbstractAfter the end of apartheid in 1990 and the new constitution of 1994, the genre of the contemporary South African novel is experiencing a heyday. One reason for this is that, with the end of censorship, the authors can go about unrestraint to take a critical look at the traumatized country and the state of a nation that shows a great need to come to terms with its past. In this context, trauma and narration prove to be a fertile combination, an observation that stands in marked contrast to the deconstructionist view of trauma as ‘unclaimed’ experience and the inability to speak about it

It is becoming more and more apparent that addressing interrelated oppression and persistent gender inequality requires using an intersectional paradigm in research. This framework can be use

This essay is a feminist, historical exploration of body parts in short science fiction stories by women.

A dilemma facing those exploring the post-apartheid novel in English is how to group white and black writers in a single box, given that previous scholarship often focused on racial binaries.

This is probably why some white academics have invoked a defacement of history in the discourse of recent fiction.

Abstract:

In this article I address how East African writers have responded to and conceptualized the encounter with development in works of fiction. The article combines two lines of enquiry: first, a historical perspective on “development” as a history of changing and conflicting meanings and practices in planning and controlling social and economic change, and, second, a narrative studies perspective on fiction as a source of knowledge in social and political research. The article presents an analysis of two novels and a short story from Uganda and Kenya: Akiki Nyabongo’s The Story of an African Chie

Abstract:

With a view to imagining the forms and foci of something that might be persuaded to manifest as post-2000 “queer South African short fiction”, I queery the possibilities of queerness as category of analysis. Using a necessarily limited, illustrative selection of stories, I discuss aspects of queer in relation to such issues as generic scope, the erotic, futurity, and queerings of the canon. The approach inclines towards queer as a deliberately blurred lens, hoping to enable not precise sightlines but an obliqueness that, in conjunction with the identifier “South African”, brings into view part

Abstract:

This article examines how three South African novelists, Margie Orford, Lauren Beukes and Henrietta Rose-Innes, use crime fiction to write their country. After a brief survey of the rapid development of crime fiction in South Africa and of the critical response it received, the article proposes a reading of Like Clockwork, Zoo City and Nineveh, whereby their respective contribution to crime fiction displays three major features : first, Orford’s novel chimes in with generic conventions ; second, Beukes’s novel combines features borrowed from both crime fiction and science fiction ; and last, R

Abstract:

Historical perspectives are discussed in terms of their relevance to contemporary developmental psychology in South Africa. It is argued that historical viewpoints shed new light on the image of black children in South African society, and on the current status of developmental psychology as it is practised and researched in South Africa.
