Description
-
In this influential address, Nobel Laureate Nadine Gordimer reflects on the "interregnum"—the period between the dying of the old apartheid order and the birth of a new, yet-to-be-defined society. She examines the role of the white writer and intellectual in a revolutionary context, the "ugly creation" of institutionalized racism, and the urgent need for a new South African identity beyond race and class.
