Living in the interregnum

Item

Date
1983
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.
