South African photography and the lives of workers
When Matlala and Matom first began photographing their respective worlds in the 1980s, demand for political images of apartheid overshadowed quotidian concerns. Since then, a shift away from the political to the personal in South African photography has offered a space of reflection for the kinds of images that they sought to make.

The former, completed in 1996, represents one of …

Thus, to examine the group we call white must involve an analysis and questioning of what the colour white actually means, how it impinges on white identity and the ways in which whites are represented and how they see themselves
