Remains Of The Social - Desiring the Post-apartheid

Remains of the Social is an interdisciplinary volume of essays that engages with what 'the social' might mean after apartheid. It grapples with apartheid as a global phenomenon that extends beyond the borders of South Africa between 1948 and 1994 and foregrounds the tension between the weight of lived experience that was and is apartheid, the structures that condition that experience, and a desire for a 'post-apartheid social'. Collectively, the contributors argue for a recognition of 'the post apartheid' as a condition that names the labour of coming to terms with the ordering principles that apartheid both set in place and foreclosed.
