Who or what is a public intellectual and how are they created? What
is the role of the public intellectual in social, cultural,
political and academic contexts? What are the kinds of questions
they raise? What compels intellectuals to put forward their ideas?
The Fabric of Dissent: Public Intellectuals in South Africa is a
pioneering volume, representing a rich tapestry of South Africans
who were able to rise beyond narrow formulations of identity into a
larger sense of what it means to be human. Each brief portrait
provides readers with an opportunity to consider the context,
influences and unique tensions that shaped the people assembled
here. In its entirety, the book showcases an astonishing array of
achievements and bears testimony to the deep imprint of these
public intellectuals. As South Africans continue to grapple with
their past, present and future, it is clear that the insights of
these remarkable people into reimagining an inclusive society
continue to be relevant today.
