The book questions the boundaries between the academic disciplines by incorporating literary studies with anthropology, history, archaeology, art and gender studies. Through the various contributions, the complex interface between history and its representation is contested. Transgressing Boundaries illustrates both the autonomy of different fields of study, as well as the richness of the dialogue and the interface.

Transgressing Boundaries steps over the borders between the academic disciplines that have examined the cultural legacy of South Africa from their unique vantage points. By incorporating literary studies with anthropology, history, archeology, art, and gender studies, the scholars represented here challenge the complex interface between history and its representation. Through their writings and responses, Transgressing Boundaries illustrates the autonomy of different fields of study as well as the richness of the dialogue and the interface. By bringing together renowned contributors from Africa, North America, and the United Kingdom, this work presents some of the most interesting debates informing cultural politics in South Africa today.
