Ranging from BC?s 1970s heyday to its contemporary legacy, this timely study includes illuminating discussion of key Soweto Poets and their post-apartheid successors, whom Penfold strikingly dubs ?Poets of No Sure Place?. A significant contribution to South African studies.? --Dr Peter Blair, Senior Lecturer in English, University of Chester, UK This book analyses Black Consciousness poetry and theatre from the 1970s through to the present. South Africa?s literature, like its history, has been beset by disagreement and contradiction, and has been consistently difficult to pin down as one, united entity. Much existing criticism on South Africa?s national literature has attempted to overcome these divisions by discussing material written from a variety of different subject positions together. This book argues that Black Consciousness desired a new South Africa where African and European cultures were valued equally, and writers could represent both as they wished. Thus, a body of literature was created that addressed a range of audiences and imagined the South African nation in different ways. This book explores Black Consciousness in order to demonstrate how South African writers have responded in various ways to the changing history and politics of their country. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aAfrican literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aLiterature    606 $aPoetry 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aAfrican Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/829000 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000 606 $aPostcolonial/World Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/838000 606 $aPoetry and Poetics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/824000 606 $aPerforming Arts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415030 615 0$aAfrican literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aLiterature   . 615 0$aPoetry. 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 14$aAfrican Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aPostcolonial/World Literature. 615 24$aPoetry and Poetics. 615 24$aPerforming Arts. 676 $a809.6 700 $aPenfold$b Tom$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01057816 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255082803321 996 $aBlack Consciousness and South Africa?s National Literature$92494594 997 $aUNINA
