This anti-democracy stance, which persists today as a direct critique of "freedom" in neoliberal South Africa, hinges on an idealized vision of the rural home and a hierarchical social order crafted in part by the technologies of colonial governance over the past century. In analyzing this conflict, Jason Hickel contributes to broad theoretical debates about liberalism and democratization in the postcolonial world. Democracy as Death interrogates the Western ideals of individual freedom and agency from the perspective of those who oppose such ideals, and questions the assumptions underpinning theories of anti-liberal movements. The book argues that both democracy and the political science that attempts to explain resistance to it presuppose a model of personhood native to Western capitalism, which may not operate cross-culturally. 606 $aDemocracy$zSouth Africa 607 $aSouth Africa$xPolitics and government$y1994- 610 $aafrican history. 610 $aafrican national congress. 610 $aanc. 610 $aanti democracy stance. 610 $acolonial governance. 610 $acolonialism. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $ademocratization. 610 $adiplomacy. 610 $aegalitarian values. 610 $afreedom. 610 $agovernment and governing. 610 $ahierarchical social order. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $aindividual freedom. 610 $ainternal conflict. 610 $aliberal democratic platform. 610 $aliberalism. 610 $amigrant workers. 610 $amigrants. 610 $aneoliberal south africa. 610 $apostcolonial studies. 610 $arevolution. 610 $arural home. 610 $arural zuzuland. 610 $arural. 610 $asouth africa. 610 $asouth african history. 610 $awestern capitalism. 610 $awestern ideals. 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a320.968 686 $aMI 65086$2rvk 700 $aHickel$b Jason$f1982-$0761729 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787428303321 996 $aDemocracy as death$93791527 997 $aUNINA
