The first collection of nonfiction critical writings by one of the
leading literary figures of post-apartheid South Africa The most
significant nonfiction writings of Zoe Wicomb, one of South
Africa's leading authors and intellectuals, are collected here for
the first time in a single volume. This compilation features essays
on the works of such prominent South African writers as Bessie
Head, Nadine Gordimer, Njabulo Ndebele, and J. M. Coetzee, as well
as on a wide range of cultural and political topics, including
gender politics, sexuality, race, identity, nationalism, and visual
art. Also presented here are a reflection on Nelson Mandela and a
revealing interview with Wicomb. In these essays, written between
1990 and 2013, Wicomb offers insights into her nation's history,
politics, and people. In a world in which nationalist rhetoric is
on the rise and right-wing populist movements are the declared
enemies of diversity and pluralism, her essays speak powerfully to
a host of current international issues.
