This book examines 21st-century South African autobiographical
writing that addresses the nation's socio-political realities, both
past and present. The texts in focus represent and depict a South
Africa caught in the midst of contradictory and competing images of
the 'Rainbow Nation'. Arguing that recent memoirs question and
criticize the illusion of a united nation, the study shows how
these texts reveal the flaws and shortcomings not only of the
apartheid past but of contemporary South Africa. It encompasses a
broad range of autobiographical works, largely published since
2009, that engage with South Africa's past, present and future. At
its centre is the quest for space and belonging, and this book
investigates who can comfortably 'belong' in South Africa in its
post-apartheid, post-Truth and Reconciliation, post-Mbkei and
post-Zuma state.
