摘要

这篇对南非黑人小说的分析,被翻译成英语,以一个有百年历史的反常现象为中心,即1913年的《原住民土地法》,该法案将90%的土地分配给白人少数民族。这项具有破坏性的立法的后果至今仍伴随着我们。事实上,我认为,无地是南非持续存在的弊病的根本根源。无论是在殖民主义、种族隔离还是后种族隔离时代——我们虚幻的民主——以“非洲脉搏”这个名字收集的小说,从根本上讲,都与土地的关系或与土地的分离有关。一系列复杂的问题——经济、政治、文化和心理——出现了。有两部小说跨越了这场百年冲突,BW Vilakazi的《无论何时》和MJ Mngadi的《家不在》。第一种是浪漫、平等和包容的愿景,而后者则是赤裸裸的、残酷的反乌托邦。作为书尾,它们标志着对家的渴望,以及它被抹去的病理后果。

Peace and Division: The Black Novel in South Africa
This analysis of black South African fiction, translated into English, pivots on a century-old aberration, the Natives Land Act of 1913, which assigned 90% of the land to a white minority. The fallout of this destructive legislation remains with us today. Indeed, landlessness, I argue, is the fundamental root of South Africa’s continued ills. Whether conceived under colonialism, apartheid, or the post-apartheid moment – our phantom democracy – the fiction gathered under the moniker, Africa Pulse, is fundamentally concerned with a relation to land, or a divorce from it. A complex of problems – economic, political, cultural and psychological – emerge. Two novels span the century-old conflict, BW Vilakazi’s No Matter When and MJ Mngadi’s Home is Nowhere. The first is a romantic, egalitarian, and inclusive vision, the latter starkly and brutally dystopian. As bookends, they mark an unrequited desire for a sense of home, and the pathological consequence of its obliteration.

期刊介绍: Current Writing: Text and Reception in Southern Africa is published bi-annually by Routledge. Current Writing focuses on recent writing and re-publication of texts on southern African and (from a ''southern'' perspective) commonwealth and/or postcolonial literature and literary-culture. Works of the past and near-past must be assessed and evaluated through the lens of current reception. Submissions are double-blind peer-reviewed by at least two referees of international stature in the field. The journal is accredited with the South African Department of Higher Education and Training.
