Colonial Genealogies of Pluralism
This article reframes understandings of pluralism in democratic theory by showing that the management of late and post-colonial identitarian conflict was integral to its incorporation into twentieth-century political science. It does so by reconstructing the central but underexamined place of theories of consociational democracy in efforts to reform South Africa's apartheid constitution in the 1970s and 80s. Consociational democratic theory offer…
Can we save the downtown? Examining pandemic recovery trajectories across 62 North American cities
As cities emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, the persistence of pandemic-era habits such as remote and hybrid work remained ingrained in urban activity patterns, presenting a threat to North American downtown districts as we know them. This paper examines the visitation trajectories of downtowns in 62 of the largest US and Canadian cities between 2020 and 2022 using location-based services data from mobile phones. Our analysis shows that downtown…
White Postcolonial Guilt in Doris Lessing's The Grass Is Singing
This paper examines representations of historical guilt, agency, and transformation in Doris Lessing's novel The Grass is Singing. In particular, this paper argues that the warped interracial relationship between the novel's white female protagonist, Mary Turner, and her black servant Moses, becomes the vehicle for a cathartic and redemptive alleviation of white postcolonial guilt. The allegorical violence that infuses this narrative of atonement…
Othello revisited
This article investigates the prevalence of the Othello myth in Frantz Fanon's Black Skin, White Masks and Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses. In particular, it focuses on the charged, pathological obsession with white women in both texts, and seeks to explain this representative tendency in male postcolonial writing as an historical repercussion of racial prejudice in the colony and the metropole. Fanon's controversial diagnosis of interracial …

The AIDS denialism of South African President Thabo Mbeki's government is analysed through close examination of a representative monograph circulated throughout the ANC in 2002, referred to here as `The humanisation of the African'. Particular attention is drawn to the document's anti-colonial rhetoric and its indictment of AIDS activism as an instance of western neocolonial intervention. Although the anti-colonial stance of this document is prob…
