Are trout as South African as braaivleis, biltong and Mrs Balls
chutney? Duncan Brown, academic, literary critic, author and
fisherman, explores questions about the complex community of
humans, fauna and flora that make up South Africa. ‘South
Africanness’ usually refers to human identity, or at least to
something with a valued place in our national history. In asking
whether a fish species that was introduced as part of the process
of colonial occupation could be called ‘South African’, Are Trout
South African? uses discussions on trout, their history, the
literature about them, scientific work on what is considered
‘indigenous’ or ‘alien’, as well as the author’s moving personal
stories of fishing to provide an engaging and accessible
exploration of a contested physical and cultural terrain. Are Trout
South African? will be of interest to anyone who is engaged with
notions of how people belong or claim to belong, how people
interact with landscapes, animals, plants or fish species, how our
histories and family relationships may form around shared pursuits
such as fishing and, of course, what pleasures, complexities and
contradictions there are in the activity of flyfishing for trout in
South Africa.
