Load-Shedding
Writing on and over the edge of South Africa
 
248 pages; 5" x 7 1/2"


Description:

Load-shedding is a collection of non-fiction stories from South Africa’s pre-eminent authors, journalists and commentators - and is a follow-up volume to Liz McGregor and Sarah Nuttall’s well-received first such collection, At Risk. Published at a time of great uncertainty – during the so-called “Second Transition” – these stories reflect the ambivalence and anxiety of our age.

Covering diverse subjects such as corruption in the countryside, sexual abuse, ‘Zuluness’ in time of Zuma, and ethnic panic, these personal accounts shed new light on our contemporary South African world.

Contributors include: Mondli Makhanya, Jacob Dlamini, Michael Titlestad, Sarah Nuttall, Deborah Posel, Archille Mbembe, Liz McGregor, Imraan Coovadia, Ferial Haffajee and Karina Magdalena Szczurek.
