Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book examines the work of Sindiwe Magona, one of South Africas most prolific and groundbreaking writers, widely recognized for highlighting the everyday experiences of women and the domestic side of apartheid. A pioneer among black African women writers, she is equally respected as storyteller, advocate for childrens education, activist for HIV/AIDS awareness, and champion of indigenous languages. In this book, Renee Schatteman contends that Magonas most important contribution comes through her refusal to choose sides in the contentious debates that have polarized public discourse following apartheid. By straddling two (or more) sides of a controversy and challenging any who do harm to others (and to the nation), regardless of their position, she blurs distinctions that are assumed to be absolute, opens new avenues of understanding, and inspires alternative visions for the future. By occupying the space of paradox, she undermines the closed epistemological structures inherited from apartheid and champions the need for interdependence, truth-telling, and dialogue. Covering her creative production over three decades (which includes novels, autobiographies and biographies, short story collections, childrens books, and literature about HIV/AIDS), this book is an essential read for Magona enthusiasts as well as for researchers of African literature and postcolonial South Africa. This book examines the work of Sindiwe Magona, one of South Africas most prolific and ground-breaking writers, and argues that her most important contribution comes through her refusal to choose sides in the contentious debates that have polarized public discourse following apartheid.
