In this wonderfully original and intensely personal--yet deeply
analytical--work, Dr. Carli Coetzee argues in favor of difference
and disagreement as legitimate forms of activism to bring about
social change both inside and outside the teaching environment. She
begins by defining "accentedness" as the process of actively
working towards the ending of apartheid by being aware of the
legacies of the past, without attempting to gloss over the
conflicts and violence that may exist under the surface. Having
established this, she examines the concept of "accent" in a broad
educational context, analyzing it, not only as an accent of speech,
but also an attitude, a stance against being understood--yet a way
of teaching that requires teacher and pupil to understand each
other's contexts. The book draws on seminal recent South African
literature to illustrate a new way of reading and to theorize this
teacher-student relationship. The ideas presented about the
relationships created by the use of language to convey knowledge,
particularly in translation, are evocative, thought-provoking, and
even challenging at times. "Accented Futures" marks a significant
and important contribution to research on identity in
post-apartheid South Africa, as well as to the fields of education
and translation studies.
