Within the constraints of an aversion to the autobiographies of bit players in epic events, I attempt to trace my intellectual formation in 1950s South Africa. I go on to suggest that the experience of participation in a far‐left political movement indelibly marked my subsequent work within and against the grain of postcolonial studies where the critical embrace of a “reconciliatory” ideology displaced the explanatory category of conflict and struggle in situations of domination. Arguing against a politics of accommodation, I foreground the necessity of casting a cold eye on South Africa’s arrested revolution at a time when too much writing and commentary is directed at mythologizing the transition and justifying the conduct of the present regime
