Intermediality: A Paradigm for African Identity in the Twenty-First Century
One notion of African identity is based on the credo that generally champions the view that so-called Africans should not only celebrate an identity that is predicated on racialised and essentialised blackness, but also seek out (and hopefully render assistance to) any black persons anywhere in the world. Crucially, it was the black experience of slavery, as well as colonialism, that helped to foster such essentialised notions of identity. It is …
You can't go home again”: Reading the shifting idea of “home” in Rupert Isaacson's The healing land: a Kalahari journey
The concept of “home” is inextricably linked with identity – be it personal, cultural, ethnic or national identity. The fact that numerous significations (notably homeland, home language, or home ground) accrue to the idea of home points to the concept's shifting nature, particularly in a world typified by all manner of migrations, displacements and diasporas. “Home” is often associated with “a sense of place or belonging” (Sarup 1994: 94), and t…

Reading the changing face of identity in Malawian music
This article examines selected pieces of music from Malawi in order to test the assumption that music generally contributes to our understanding of the nature of identity. The paper looks at a random sample of Malawian artists who perform largely in the local language of Chichewa, notably Lucius Banda and Billy Kaunda, in an attempt to map new terrain in Malawian music that gestures towards the complex nature of individual, cultural and national …
Locating the Ambivalence of Colonial Discourse in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness
Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness is a story of an expedition by European voyagers into the hub of the African continent at a time when such explorations into unknown lands were commonplace. As a colonial narrative, Conrad's text has provoked intense criticism and heated debate, much of which points to the novella's racist overtones. This is largely owing to Joseph Conrad's foregrounding and representations of nativism, primitivism and degeneracy…

Seeing the entire world as a foreign land”: The exilic intellectual in JM Coetzee's Disgrace
My reading of JM. Coetzee's Disgrace is informed by the deployment of the concept of exilic consciousness by postcolonial theorists, notably Edward Said and Homi Bhabha, and literary critic Julia Kristeva, to project an anti-utopian and antinomian vision of the universe that is very much at odds with conventional morality and ways of thinking about reality and identity. Through the author's expressive use of irony and other related tropes and dis…

Identities in Transition: The 1990 High Court Case and Unity Dow's The Heavens May Fall
In both her life and fiction, Unity Dow's consuming engagement resides in exploring issues of female entrapment and related notions of identity (or subjectivity) predicated on the idea of the embodied, sexualised and racialised “other”, an identity that conforms to the phallogocentric format of the patriarchal imaginary. In her personal struggles (as exemplified by the 1990 High Court Case with her Government over citizen laws) as well as in her …

Identities in transition: Unity Dow's Far and beyon' and The screaming of the innocent
The author Unity Dow sees her society's past in palimpsest beneath its present, having been born at the threshold of postcolonial Botswana and thus being witness to a significant moment of transition between an old and a new Botswana. But rather than present her society as a monolithic entity with a fixed identity based on an old Botswana, Unity Dow presents a new moment of transition in her fiction whereby it is very difficult to equate culture …
