This book maintains that South Africa, despite the official end of
apartheid in 1994, remains steeped in the interstices of
coloniality. The author looks at the Black Nationalist thought in
South Africa and its genealogy. Colonial modernity and coloniality
of power and their equally sinister accessories, war, murder, rape
and genocide have had a lasting impact onto those unfortunate
enough to receive such ghastly visitations. Tafira explores a range
of topics including youth political movement, the social
construction of blackness in Azania, and conceptualizations from
the Black Liberation Movement.
This book is a vivid history of racism in post-apartheid South
Africa, focusing on how colonialism still haunts black intraracial
relationships. In 2008, sixty-four people died in a wave of
anti-immigrant violence in the Alexandra township of Johannesburg;
in the aftermath, Hashi Kenneth Tafira went to Alexandra and
undertook an ethnographic study of why this violence occurred.
Presented here, his findings reframe xenophobia as a form of
black-on-black racism, unraveling the long history of colonial
dehumanization and self-abnegation that continues to shape South
African black subjectivities. Studying vernacular, popular
stereotypes, gender, and sexual politics, Tafira investigates the
dynamics of love relationships between black South African women
and black immigrant men, and pervasive myths about male sexuality,
economic competition, and immigrants. Pioneering and timely, this
book presents a cohesive picture of the new face of racism in the
twenty-first century.
