A study of the use of history as political ammunition and
literature as historical counterdiscourse in Mongane Serote's Gods
of Our Time, Mike Nicol's The Ibis Tapestry, and Zakes Mda's Ways
of Dying. Moslund shows how literary engagement with the past seeks
to rupture the continuity of a strongly dichotomised epistemology
and through that dissolve the inherited polarisation of society.
Falsification of history is exposed as constructed discourse and
past simplifications of reality as sharply demarcated into
homogenous self-justifying, Categorisations of, Us against Them,
are challenged with paradox, doubt and introspection.
