Clearing a path to academia: A tribute to Lungisile Ntsebeza
This paper describes Lungisile Ntsebeza’s initial commitment and difficult path to academia: a commitment that began when he and his comrades were facing trial in the Transkei under the Suppression of Communism Act, and continued during his four-year term in prison and the years of banishment and persecution that followed. His academic career was made possible by standing up to and exposing the apartheid death squads that killed his cousin Batand…
The Material History of the Novel II: 1973–Present
This chapter outlines the main developments in publishing, bookselling, and reading during a period which ended with the physical format of the novel beginning to undergo radical change. The year 1973 was a moment of ‘crisis’ in British and Irish fiction. Increasing costs of production and escalating retail prices, coupled with cuts to public library budgets, challenged the structures of the book trade and appeared to threaten the very existence …
Zen Communist: Breyten Breytenbach’s view from underground
In an interview after his release from prison, Breyten Breytenbach describes himself, at the time he became involved in underground politics, as a Zen Communist. He returns occasionally to this interaction of Marxist ideas of social revolution and Buddhist ideas of non-attachment, but never attempts to explain the resulting synthesis systematically. Indeed, for Breytenbach, being a Zen Communist is to resist systematic positions, to accept contra…

The New Politics of Afrikaans
The “new politics of Afrikaans” is primarily concerned with defending Afrikaans language and culture in the new South Africa. In contrast to Afrikaner nationalism, it seeks to ensure a vital and viable future for Afrikaans, which does not depend on white racial domination or Afrikaner political power. At the same time, it seeks to prevent Afrikaners from disowning their language or cultural identity, or abandoning the sphere of the political in t…

The Moment of Western Marxism in South Africa
militant and rational — capable both of engaging with the struggles of the oppressed majority and developing analyses and arguments which depend on argument and evidence rather than faith — had better be aware that history is against it. We build on an activist culture pervaded by sec-tarianism and dogma, and an intellectual culture in which the assimilation of radical ideas has reproduced patterns of intellectual dependence and fragmentation.

Mandela's Democracy
In his speech from the dock, at his 1962 trial for inciting African workers to strike and leaving the country without a passport, Nelson Mandela described the initial formation of his political ideas: "Many years ago, when I was a boy brought up in my village in the Transkei, I listened to the elders of the tribe telling stories about the good old days, before the arrival of the White man. Then our people lived peacefully under the democratic rul…
Ellen Meiksins Wood's Reinterpretation of the History of Political Thought
For most of its existence, the academic study of politics has been based on the reading of the texts of a recognised number of great thinkers from Greek and Roman antiquity through the European middle ages to modern Europe. In the English-speaking world, the example of ‘Greats’ at Oxford – and ‘Modern Greats’ (philosophy, politics and economics) after 1920 – has been crucial in establishing this approach. In 1928, in his inaugural lecture as Prof…
