Against Normalization

"In this rich and astute book, Anthony O'Brien introduces his readers to an array of writers and relates them to global, cultural, and political concerns. Subtly responsive to the increasing complexities both of postcolonial theory and culture in post-apartheid South Africa, "Against Normalization" advances postcolonial analysis on several significant fronts by embarking on a truly comparative approach to South African writing."--Rob Nixon, author of "Homelands, Harlem, and Hollywood: South African Culture and the World Beyond"
