Rights and Responsibilities in Rural South Africa examines the
gendered and generational conflicts surrounding social change in
South Africa's rural Eastern Cape roughly twenty years after the
end of Apartheid. In post-Aparatheid South Africa, rights-based
public discourse and state practices promote liberal, autonomous,
and egalitarian notions of personhood, yet widespread unemployment
and poverty demand that people rely closely on one another and
forge relationships that disrupt the gendered and generational
hierarchies framed as traditional and culturally authentic.
Kathleen Rice examines the ways these tensions and restructurings
lead to uncertainties about how South Africans should live together
in their daily lives. Focusing particularly on the women of the
village of Mhlambini, Rights and Responsibilities in Rural South
Africa offers compelling portraits of how they experience and
navigate widespread social and economic change and presents their
experiences as a way of understanding how people navigate the moral
ambiguities of contemporary South African life.
