OMEN WRITING
IDENTITY AND REPRESENTATION IN (POST-JAPARTHEID LITERATURES OF SOUTH AFRICA
White Women Writing White is
a provocative analysis of the
works of selected South African
women writers, examining the
ways in which each deals with
concepts of white identity.
Drawing on a range of source
materials, from popular novels
by Pamela Jooste and Susan
Mann and magazine columns
by Marianne Thamm to major
literary works such as Antjie
Krogs
A Change of Tongue and
short stories by
Nadine
Gordimer and
Marlene
van
Niekerk, this book seeks to tease
out the hidden meanings and
assumptions in the ways these
writers have portrayed the white
South African experience.
White Women Writing White is
an important addition to the
internationally growing field of
whiteness studies, which views
white identity as a social
construct. In this respect, the
book also reflects a particular
current in post-colonial studies;
instead of subjecting the Other
to detailed analysis, this line of
study examines the often
unspoken assumption that
whiteness is the norm by which
all experiences are measured.
This forceful and thought-
provoking book is sure to
interest anyone with an eye on
developments and critical
perspectives in South African
literature.
