■ South African identities, as they are represented
in the contemporary South African novel, are not
homogeneous but fractured and often conflicted:
African, Afrikaner, coloured , English, and Indian —
none can be regarded as rooted or pure, whatever
essentialist claims members of these various ethnic and cultural
communities might want to make for them. All of them, this book 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 and diasporic dislocations within Africa. This study of
twenty works by twelve 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 — shows how
diaspora is a dominant theme in contemporary South African fiction, and
the diasporic subject its most recognisable figure.
