Scientific Essay from the year 2014 in the subject African Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1, University of Botswana, language: English, abstract: The Dynamics of Being: land as a catalyst of political and cultural law. A Comparison of Time of The Butcherbird and The Stone Country
AbstractIn South African literature, more than anywhere else, the land is at the root of everything. The upheaval caused by apartheid and the social dynamics of relationships both within and across the colour line are instigated by the land. Alex La Guma as a realist shows how the South African -condition- is precipitated by the land. The paper looks at how the landscape holds the society hostage whether one is free or behind bars. The argument is that writers and critics of South African literature cannot fully understand the spectrum of race relations if they overlook the role of the landscape. My analysis of Alex La Gumäs texts shows how both whites and blacks mould their identity on the landscape and how their philosophy on life and relationship with one another is buttressed by what it means to have access to this natural resource.
