Reed looks at a surprising phenomenon encountered in the post-apartheid nation: despite the Department of Education mandating curricula meant to teach values of civic responsibility and liberal democracy, those who are actually responsible for teaching this material (and the students taking it) often resist what they see as the imposition of white values. These teachers and students do not see South African democracy as a type of freedom, but rather as destructive of their own African culturewhereas apartheid, at least ostensibly, allowed for cultural expression in the former rural homelands. In the Eastern Cape, Reed observes, resistance to democracy occurs alongside nostalgia for apartheid among the very citizens who were most disenfranchised by the late racist, authoritarian regime. Examining a rural town in the former Transkei homeland and the urban offices of the Sonke Gender Justice Network in Cape Town, Reed argues that nostalgic memories of a time when African culture was not under attack, combined with the socioeconomic failures of the post-apartheid state, set the stage for the current political ambivalence in South Africa. Beyond simply being a case study, however, <em>Nostalgia after Apartheid</em> shows how, in a global context in which nationalism and authoritarianism continue to rise, the threat posed to democracy in South Africa has far wider implications for thinking about enactments of democracy.</p><p><em>Nostalgia after Apartheid</em> offers a unique approach to understanding how the attempted post-apartheid reforms have failed rural Black South Africans, and how this failure has led to a nostalgia for the very conditions that once oppressed them. It will interest scholars of African studies, postcolonial studies, anthropology, and education, as well as general readers interested in South African history and politics.</p>...3027975Nostalgia after Apartheid836929https://www.gandhi.com.mx/nostalgia-after-apartheid-9780268108793/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2927184/7a7d95cd-f2c4-423c-b2aa-1a583bb7bb22.jpg?v=638743716116000000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20209780268108793_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_<p>In this engaging book, Amber Reed provides a new perspective on South Africas democracy by exploring Black residents nostalgia for life during apartheid in the rural Eastern Cape.
