ABSTRACT This paper examines the intellectual and sociological contribution of Sitas as a diasporic public intellectual who bridges and navigates between continents. Sitas's creative, scientific, and critical engagement in postcolonial thinking connects Cyprus to Africa, drawing from both his country of origin, Cyprus, and South Africa, where he excelled as a dramatist, poet, sociologist and public intellectual. This ‘in-betweenness’ seems to be the basis for the vantage point from which to observe society to inspire him during his remarkable intellectual and artistic journey within and between the continents. Perhaps unknown outside Cyprus, Sitas has had a crucial impact on the development of critical social sciences and civic action in Cyprus: the study of racism, intolerance, and the potential for reconciliation and between Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots and bringing to Cyprus postcolonial perspectives from the Global South, opening new readings in the study of reconciliation, borders, migration, precarity and social space.

ABSTRACT The Kingdom of eSwatini is undergoing its worst political and humanitarian crisis in postcolonial times. In June-July 2021, the indiscriminate killing and torturing of pro-democracy protesters by the military and the police force marked the terminal decline of the Swati postcolonial dispensation, centred around the rule of the monarchy in the name of 'custom'. This special issue explores multiple aspects of social and political life under this postcolonial order - from the transition to independence in the 1960s all the way to the current crisis. Inspired by the articles in the collection, we argue that eSwatini's postcolonial biopolitical regime has been driven by an ideology of 'customary nationalism', which constructs Swati citizens as holding a distinct and unitary national identity that is closely aligned with an interpretation of custom that serves the interests of the royal elite. Race and ethnicity, gender and class are key dimensions of biopolitical contestation through which this ideology is articulated in practice. We conclude by framing the contemporary mass movement for democracy as the intensification of biopolitical struggles led by those who have been symbolically and materially marginalised by customary nationalism, including, but not limited to, the youth, the unemployed and the precariously employed.
