Keguro Macharia: On Grinding, Grating, and Creating Friction against Kenyatta's Figurations of Gender, Sexuality, and Ethnicity
The Famous and the Obscure Were There, Waiting for Freedom”: Jeeva Rajgopaul's Photographs of South African Exiles in New York, 1991
In photographing South African exiles living in New York City in 1991, Jeevenundhan (Jeeva) Rajgopaul intended to counter the apartheid state's propaganda maligning exiles as “terrorists”. Today, his photographs—as records of subsumed, intersecting socio-political experiences—are also an unintentional project in corrective history, invaluable to audiences within and outside South Africa. In documenting exiles who were regarded as those who played…

From the colonial project to Out of Africa to The Constant Gardener and Kony 2012, Africa has provided a space onto which white egos can conveniently be projected. It is a liberated space in which
Impenetrable Bodies/Disappearing Bodies: Fat American Celebrities, Lean Indigenous People, and Multinational Pharmaceuticals in the Battle to Claim Hoodia gordonii
Products claiming to contain Hoodia gordonii have, over the 2000s, flooded the American marketplace; advertisements for dozens of brands promise to convert millions of ordinary American bodies into leaner, more desirable bodies. These products promise to erase cravings leading to overconsumption and aid the consumer in shedding the baggage of modernity. The marketplace success, evidenced by the proliferation of products claiming to contain Hoodia…
Learning the cartography of terror: South African literature in the post-9/111American2classroom
9/11 was the day the ‘West’ became aware of Third-World Others’ increased mobility, leading national governments to use the risk of terror as currency in political processes of increasing ‘security’ via amplified surveillance. Coupling the narratives of my own experiences in the United States and South Africa with an examination of the work of South African-born writers Ishtiyaq Shukri and Imraan Coovadia gave me an entry-point for beginning a co…
Ambiguous bodies, authentic bodies: Terrorists, passports, and immigration law in the post 9/11 world
Some years back, a collective of DJs in Cape Town's underground music scene began The Fong Kong Bantu Sound System. Their inspiration came from the "spazas of Soweto or the bazaars of Grey Street", where "we see fake consumer goods flooding our world and our minds" – be it in the form of endless rows of "shoes with fake Nike logos, 'Diesel' t‐shirts [or] badly pirated DVDs" (2010). Fong Kong's hype and swagger are double delights that aid in an a…
Disappearing bodies: Visibility and Erasure, Mobility and Containment of the Third World Immigrant During the War on Terror
Ishtiyaq Shukri's novel, The silent minaret, centres on the disappearance of Issa Sham-suddin. Is his disappearance an act of defiance, or have “sinister forces” orchestrated his erasure? Issa's removal from the documenting machinery of the nation state can be seen as an act of insubordination: a means of protesting the categorization of the colonial body through the map of passports, visas, and permits. The problem with reading Issa's disappeara…
Taking Things Personally, and Publicising the Private: Encountering Erasure on the Frontlines of Academia
What impact does being on the receiving end of ‘culturally insensitive’ questions have on those occupying the ‘Other’ position in academia? Are these questions a means of interrogating one's legitimacy in a given location, a way to dislocate an academic ‘Other’ from feeling a sense of belonging within a privileged location? And what does the subsequent behaviour of one's colleagues tell one about an encounter intended to police and erase an acade…
