South Africa is ready for a new vocabulary than can form the basis
for a national consciousness which recognises racialised identities
while affirming that, as human beings, we are much more than our
racial, sexual, class, religious or national identities. The Colour
of Our Future makes a bold and ambitious contribution to the
discourse on race. It addresses the tension between the promise of
a post-racial society and the persistence of racialised identities
in South Africa, which has historically played itself out in
debates between the 'I don't see race' of non-racialism and the
'I'm proud to be black' of black consciousness. The chapters in
this volume highlight the need for a race-transcendent vision that
moves beyond 'the festival of negatives' embodied in concepts such
as non-racialism, non-sexism, anti-colonialism and anti-apartheid.
Steve Biko's notion of a 'joint culture' is the scaffold on which
this vision rests; it recognises that a race-transcendent society
can only be built by acknowledging the constituent elements of
South Africa's EuroAfricanAsian heritage. The distinguished authors
in this volume have, over the past two decades, used the democratic
space to insert into the public domain new conversations around the
intersections of race and the economy, race and the state, race and
the environment, race and ethnic difference, and race and higher
education. Presented here is some of their most trenchant and yet
still evolving thinking.
