Abstract
:
"In Midfielder's Moment, South African-born scholar Grant Farred explores the ways in which ideological differences and political fissures are being articulated in the "new" postapartheid nation. By examining the literature and culture of a uniquely disenfranchised constituency - the coloured community - this collection of essays sheds critical light on the current debates taking place within the recently democratized society."--BOOK JACKET.
