Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sixty Years Ago: Or Reminiscences of the Struggle for the Freedom of the Press in South Africa, and the Establishment of the First Newspaper in the Eastern Province The growth of the Cape of Good Hope, it may be truly said, as a free Colony - proper] y so called - dates from the arrival of the first British Immigration in 1820.

Book Synopsis The Hidden History of South Africa's Book and Reading Cultures by : Archie L. Dick
Download or read book The Hidden History of South Africa's Book and Reading Cultures written by Archie L. Dick and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hidden History of South Africa's Book and Reading Cultures shows how the common practice of reading can illuminate the social and political history of a culture. This ground-breaking study reveals resistance strategies in the reading and writing practices of South Africans; strategies that have been hidden until now for political reasons relating to the country's liberation struggles. By looking to records from a slave lodge, women's associations, army education units, universities, courts, libraries, prison departments, and political groups, Archie Dick exposes the key works of fiction and non-fiction, magazines, and newspapers that were read and discussed by political activists and prisoners. Uncovering the book and library schemes that elites used to regulate reading, Dick exposes incidences of intellectual fraud, book theft, censorship, and book burning. Through this innovative methodology, Dick aptly shows how South African readers used reading and books to resist unjust regimes and build community across South Africa's class and racial barriers.
Book Synopsis The South African Short Story in English, 1920-2010 by : Marta Fossati
Download or read book The South African Short Story in English, 1920-2010 written by Marta Fossati and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through detailed close readings alongside investigations into the history of print culture, Marta Fossati traces the development of the South African short story in English from the late 1920s to the first decade of the twenty-first century. She examines a selection of short stories by important Black South African writers (Rolfes and Herbert Dhlomo, Peter Abrahams, Can Themba, Alex La Guma, Mtutuzeli Matshoba, Ahmed Essop, and Zoë Wicomb) with an alertness to the dialogue between ethics and aesthetics performed by these texts. This new history of Black short fiction problematises and interrogates the often-polarised readings of Black literature in South Africa that can be torn between notions of literariness, protest, and journalism. Due to material constraints, short fiction in South Africa circulated first and foremost through local print media, which Fossati analyses in detail to show the cross-fertilisation between journalism and the short story. While rooted in the South African context, the short stories considered also hold a translocal dimension, allowing us to explore the ethical and aesthetic practice of intertextuality. These are writings that complicate the aesthetics/ethics binary, generic classifications, and the categories of the literary and the political. Theoretically eclectic in its approach, although largely underpinned by a narratological analysis, The South African Short Story in English, 1920-2010: When Aesthetics Meets Ethics offers a fresh perspective on the South African short story in English, spotlighting several hitherto marginalised figures in South African literary studies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Outspan: Tales of South Africa The charm Of the life is indescribable, and none who have tasted it ever weary Of it, ever forget it, or cease to feel the longing to return when once they have quitted it. It was in '91, the year after the pioneers cut their way through the Bush, with Selous to guide them, and occupied Mashonaland. We followed their trail and lived again their anxious nights and days, when they, a small handful in a dense Bush, at the mercy Of the Matabele thousands, did not know at what hour they would be pounced on and massacred.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers on the Political Situation in South Africa: 1885-1895 Form, records of the resolutions passed by that body of Uitlanders and of the Speeches of its leaders, must reveal to future writers much that is important and relevant. The terms of the great Petition which was signed by people and contemptuously disregarded by the will for ever give the lie to the statement, on the Boer that the Uitlanders formulated their demands in such insolent terms as to preclude all possibility of their being granted. The extracts from the address of the Republican Chief Justice, the solemn warnings in the paper written by Mr. J. W. Wessels (now a judge on the Transvaal Bench), and the able analysis of the Republican Constitution by Advocate Auret, printed originally as appendices to my statement for the House of Commons Committee, should be of great value to students of South African history; To make these papers accessible, I am causing them to be reprinted, at my own expense, so that they may be placed on the shelves of every library in South Africa and of some libraries in Great Britain.

Book Synopsis Emerging Traditions by : Vicki Briault Manus
Download or read book Emerging Traditions written by Vicki Briault Manus and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012-07-10 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monograph explores the linguistic impact of the colonial and postcolonial situations in South Africa on language policy, on literary production and especially on the stylistics of fiction by indigenous South Africans writing in English. A secondary concern is to investigate the present place of English in the multilingual spectrum of South African languages and to see how this worldly English relates to Global English, in the South African context. The introduction presents a socio-linguistic overview of South Africa from pre-historic times until the present, including language planning policies during and after the colonial era and a cursory review of how the difficulties encountered in implementing the Language Plan, provided for by the new South African constitution, impinge on the development of black South African English. Six chapters track the course of English in South Africa since the arrival of the British in 1795, considered from the point of view of the indigenous African population. The study focuses on ways in which indigenous authors 'indigenize' their writing, innovating and subverting stylistic conventions, including those of African orature, in order to bend language and genre towards their own culture and objectives. Each chapter corresponds to a briefly outlined historical period that is largely reflected in linguistic and literary developments. A small number of significant works for each period are discussed, one of which is selected for a case-study at the end of each chapter, where it is subjected to detailed stylistic analysis and appraised for the degree of indigenization or other linguistic or socio-historic influences on style. The methodology adopted is a linguistic approach to stylistics, focusing on indigenization of English, inspired by the work of Chantal Zabus in her book, The African Palimpsest: Indigenization of Language in the West African Europhone Novel (2007, (1991)). The conclusion reappraises the original hypothesis - that the specific characteristics of South African literary production, including styles of writing, can be related to the political, social and economic context - in the light of many fresh insights; and discusses the place occupied by English in the cultural struggle of the formerly colonized peoples of South Africa.

The water is standing in pools and natural depressions, and the hues of the sunrise reflected in it give a colour to the whole scene which is indescribable. The air is keen, but so extraordinarily invigorating that you gladly throw down the windows of the carriage and let it play upon you without fear Of cold. A sense of lightness which calls back childish dreams of flight possesses the body. The idea of reaching the distant ranges by a direct progress from peak to peak has not the patent impossibility that it would wear in Piccadilly.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of a South African Pioneer (1st Series "Wanderjahre") The period mainly. Dealt with is that magical one when South Africa-unnoted and obscure was startled from the simplicity of her bucolic life by the discovery. Of gold and diamonds. This was, of course, some years before the fountains of her boundless potential wealth had become fully unsealed. I was one of that band of light-hearted, haphazard pioneers who, rejoicing in youthful energy and careless of their own interests, unwittingly laid the foundation upon which so many great fortunes have been built. An ancient my.th relates how. The god Dionysus decreed that everything touched by Midas, the Phrygian king, should turn into gold, but the effect was so disastrous that Midas begged for a reversal of the decree. The prayer was granted, conditionally upon the afflicted king bathing in the River Pactolus. South Africa may, in a sense, he paralleled with Midas - both as regards the bane of gold and the antidote of bathing - but her Pactolus has been one of blood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Road From Sharpeville Quest for Canaan The South African scene, with its multiplicity of problems, is so heavily charged with emotion that it is not easy to bring to it that analytical calm which alone can help us emerge from the jungle of controversy, hate and fear. I am entirely opposed to the doctrine of extreme Afrikanerdom, of which Dr Verwoerd is the outstanding exponent; and I believe that, if unchecked, this doctrine will bring ruin to South Africa. Yet I am not prepared to concede that South Africa is a land where nature has deposited evil the way it has lodged the gold ore here. Though our situation is tragic, though evil stalks our land, it is still necessary to try to estimate those forces, historical, social and economic, which have brought about this state of affairs. To modify Burke's famous adage, a whole nation cannot lightly be indicted. And I shall adduce all the extenuating evidence, in an effort to draw a picture that is whole and rounded. Three salient forces from their past have shaped the character of the Afrikaner people: nomadism; economic disintegration through 'poor whiteism'; and defeat in war. As a result of the nomadic trait, deeply ingrained in the Afrikaners, the cultural and spiritual values we generally associate with western civilization had only a tenuous hold on those regions under their dominion during the last century. Defeat in war and economic disintegration gave the Afrikaner an inferiority complex, which under certain circumstances can become aggressive and even unbridled.
