ISBN: 1868884082 ISBN-13: 9781868884087 Publisher: Brill OUR PRICE: $54.15 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: September 2007 Annotation: "Skin Tight: Apartheid Literary Culture and its Aftermath" traces the responses to the emergent paradigm of South African literary studies from the 1970s onwards. Embedded in the influential critical texts of the field, it claims, are hidden narratives - of land, race, gender, desire and embodiment. This volume explores these submerged dimension's of South African literary history and the influence they continue to exert well into the post-apartheid era. It suggests that significant continuities exist between late-apartheid and post-apartheid literary culture, and positions these against the interpretive horizon of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. |
