Description

Writing as Resistance charts the inner workings of apartheid, through the encounters— imprisonment, exile, and homecoming— that crucially defined its violent reign and ultimate overthrow.

Author Paul Gready demonstrates the transformative nature of autobiographical narrative as resistance in the context of political struggle.

This multidisciplinary study addresses a range of important contemporary topics: migration, postcolonialism, globalization, nationalism, human rights, and political democratization, among others.

While informed by the work of South African writers— including Breytenbach, Coetzee, First, Krog, Modisane, and Serote— and adding to the literature on the apartheid era, this book speaks to all cultures of violence.

With this important work Gready sheds new light on the relationship between violence and creativity.
