In Challenging Inequality in South Africa: Transitional Compasses
leading scholars of South Africa explore creative possibilities to
challenge structures of economic, social and political power that
produce inequality. Through concrete empirical examples of
movements, workers' struggles, initiatives, and politics in
challenging inequality, the authors illustrate 'transitional
compasses' that go beyond protest politics to a 'generative'
politics, a politics of building the alternatives in the
interstitial spaces of capitalism. The conceptual framing is
oriented around the way in which power is produced and reproduced
through intricate relationships between hegemonic projects and
everyday life. While power underpins all social relations, it is
often taken for granted, as it is frequently hidden behind other
social relations. Resistance to power emerges through engendering
counter-hegemonic projects that are intertwined with alternative
everyday practices. The authors highlight sources of alternative
forms of power found in resistance to dominant forms of power
through concrete experiences to create transformative alternatives.
To concretize the conceptual framing, the authors look at the
emancipatory possibilities of a universal basic income, the use of
law in tackling inequality in health and education, creative
initiatives to establish a people-centred food system through food
sovereignty, new forms of organizing led by precarious workers,
democratic possibilities in local state delivery, and attempts at
reconceptualizing the good life by looking at issues of happiness
and ecosocialism. The chapters in this book were originally
published in the journal, Globalizations.
