None can be regarded as rooted or pure, whatever essentialist claims the members of these various ethnic and cultural communities might want to make for them. All of them, this study argues, are deeply divided and have arisen, directly or indirectly, out of the experience of diasporic displacement, migration, and relocation, from the colonial, African, and Indian diasporas to present-day migrations into and out of South Africa, as well as diasporic dislocations within Africa. The book contains 20 works by 12 contemporary South African novelists - Breyten Breytenbach, J.M. Coetzee, Nadine Gordimer, Aziz Hassim, Michiel Heyns, Elsa Joubert, Zakes Mda, Njabulo S. Ndebele, Karel Schoeman, Patricia Schonstein Pinnock, Ivan Vladislavic, and Zoe Wicomb - and shows how diaspora is a dominant theme in contemporary South African fiction, and how the diasporic subject is a most recognizable figure."--Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-339) and index. 650 0 $a South African fiction $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94004952 650 0 $a South Africans $x Migrations. 650 0 $a South Africans $x Race identity. 650 0 $a South Africans $x Ethnic identity. 650 0 $a African diaspora in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2006005605 650 0 $a East Indian diaspora in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2004001349 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217023025.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=698E3FBE071E11E88A431B0A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
