Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The book delves into the xenophobic violence that erupted in South Africa in May 2008, resulting in numerous deaths and widespread displacement. It explores xenophobia as a political discourse rooted in the historical struggle for citizenship over the past fifty years. The narrative connects the de-nationalization of migrant labor during apartheid to post-apartheid nationalism, highlighting how state policies based on indigeneity fostered exclusion. It argues that the passivity of urban populations, once empowered by human rights activism, allowed xenophobic sentiments to flourish unchecked in a post-colonial context.
