This
book maintains that South Africa, despite the official end of apartheid in
1994, remains steeped in the interstices of coloniality. The author looks at
the Black Nationalist thought in South Africa and its genealogy. Colonial
modernity and coloniality of power and their equally sinister accessories, war,
murder, rape and genocide have had a lasting impact onto those unfortunate
enough to receive such ghastly visitations. Tafira explores a range of topics
including youth political movement, the social construction of blackness in
Azania, and conceptualizations from the Black Liberation Movement.

Kenneth Tafira is Postdoctoral Fellow at Archie Mafeje Research Institute, University of South Africa. He holds a doctoral degree in Anthropology from the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.
