Description: "This original book is a much needed and far reaching exploration of post-apartheid South African life worlds ... Sarah Nuttall explores the concept of entanglement in relation to readings of literature, new media forms and painting. In the process, she moves away from a persistent apartheid optic, drawing on ideas of sameness and difference, and their limits, in order to elicit ways of living and imagining that are just starting to take shape and for which we might not yet have a name"--P. 4 cover.
