Psychic Unhomings, Amnesia, and the Risk of Decosmopolitanization in Damon Galgut’s The Impostor (2008)
The apartheid regime has left behind a range of chronic and structural disturbances of home/lands in contemporary South Africa.

Houses are depicted as relational and dynamic sites, invested with traumatic repressed…

In the Heart of the Country* and Pain
This essay offers a new spatial reading of In the Heart of the Country. It explores J. M.

Trauma, Memory, and Narrative in the Contemporary South African Novel
The contributions to this volume probe the complex relationship of trauma, memory, and narrative. By looking at the South African situation through the lens of trauma, they make clear how the psychic deformations and injuries left behind by racism and colonialism cannot be mended by material reparation or by simply reversing economic and political power-structures. Western trauma theories – as developed by scholars such as Caruth, van der Kolk, H…
