Go home or die here

violence, xenophobia and the reinvention of difference in South Africa

Edición de la obra Go home or die here

"On 28 May 2008 the Faculty of Humanities in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg convened an urgent colloquium that focused on searching for short- and long-term solutions. Nearly 20 individuals - mostly Wits academics from a variety of disciplines, but also two student leaders, a journalist and a bishop - addressed the unfolding violence in ways that were conversant with the moment, yet rooted in scholarship and ongoing research." "Go Home or Die Here emanates directly from the colloquium. It hopes to make sense of the nuances and trajectories of building a democratic society out of a deeply divided and conflictual past, in the conditions of global recession, heightening inequalities and future uncertainty."--BOOK JACKET.
