Black liberation politics and quagmires in trans-Atlantic black operas
Legacies of colonialism, slavery, and neo-liberalism, as well as the afterlives of black liberatory politics, are laying bare shortcomings of the regionalization of black politics and the limits of the freedoms fought for. In their attempts to grapple with these realities, diasporan African communities inadvertently fractured black solidarity espoused in the ethos of transnational black unity and pan-Africanism. I argue that neoliberal capitalism…

A Turbulent Path
The death of Winnie Madikizela-Mandela was accompanied by startling revelations concerning the strategies employed by the apartheid state in the (un)making of her political image. This commentary considers how documentary representation of Madikizela-Mandela derailed her political ambitions in the context of the new post-apartheid hegemony, and confused the manner in which her responses to apartheid-era trauma were represented in collective memor…
Winnie
Embodied Discordance
The opera of black America and opera Indigene of settler-invaded continents initiated a trend in opera criticism that introduces new insights into the role of this classical genre in modern times. The treatment of black and indigenes operatic subjects in all of these operas signals that operas inevitably draw on historicities and other contemporary social variables in explaining the personal or national country's unfolding narratives. In both the…
The question of nationalism in Mzilikazi Khumalo'sPrincess Magogo kaDinuzulu(2002)
In this paper I discuss Mzilikazi Khumalo's opera, Princess Magogo kaDinuzulu (2002), composed eight years into South Africa's new dispensation. It is an opera which articulates nationalist discourses yet reflects a number of broader ambiguities relating to the country's attempts to ‘make’ a nation. The paper argues that with the theme of resistance, an anti-colonial Zulu struggle becomes a truly nationalist imaginary, yet the Princess's role is …
Basing Aesthetic Issues on African Discourses
In the view of many commentators, the picture with regard to African-language literature is bleak. To many critics, African-language literature both in the present and the past is a failed enterprise. In their view it is a literature dominated by the demands of the school market, and it has tended to produce repetitive and childish plots. It is a literature that has failed to respond to the socio-political and historical realities from which it h…
Seyiyakhuluma
Jacob Zuma's political and personal escapades have unleashed in unprecedented forms a mobile phone culture that has for the first time transgressed dominant European linguistic boundaries. From the moment of a build-up of his case on alleged involvement in the arms deal scandal and subsequent firing from the vice-presidency, the rape case and the Polokwane fall-out between Zuma and Mbeki's supporters, mobile ringtones and communication between us…
It is not crime in the way you see it”
Drawing on Anthony Altbeker's ground‐breaking research on post‐apartheid crime realities and legal consciousness in South Africa, this article explores the tensions brought to light by crime discourses in Yizo Yizo. It argues that the parallel existence of the white world, seen as continuous with South Africa's colonial past, and the black marginalised world, has led to a diminished respect for the law among many black South Africans. Through a c…
