Binding grammar to horror
This article argues that it is possible to capture the nuances of traumatic experiences through the medium of poetry, rather than through fiction alone. Because of its ability to be elliptic, its reliance on symbolism and especially syntactic interruptions, poetry can be an effective medium by which trauma is examined, especially in the postcolonial context. Studies have indicated that poetry is effective when used as therapy, that is when victim…
“Senses of Silence”
The critical reception of Mongane Serote's To Every Birth Its Blood (1981) has over the years been muted and unbalanced in appreciating the novel as a work of great depth. In this article I argue that a significant aspect that has been overlooked in the study of To Every Birth Its Blood is the presence of historical trauma in the novel and how it in turn shapes the novel's textuality. Through a rereading of the text, I argue that only in understa…
The Cambridge History of South African Literature
South Africa's unique history has produced literatures in many languages, in both oral and written forms, reflecting the diversity in the cultural histories and experiences of its people.

Senses of Identity in A Chain of Voices and The Madonna of Excelsior
Identity in recent South African fiction, much like the transformation of every aspect of the country's social, cultural, political and economic spheres, is under scrutiny. Nine years after the seminal year of 1994, South Africa is a country reimagining and remaking itself.

“An Eternal Alien”

A careful reading of these writings shows that the various ways in which the autobiographical subjects constructed their “South Africanness” was a result of the interplay between power, history, racism/placism and culture. These discourses are discussed in relation to how they affected the subjectivities of the authors and led to aspects …
