Writing resurrection and reversal: the cattle killing and other nineteenth-century millennial dreams -- Spectral and textual ancestors: new African intermediation and the politics of intertextuality -- The promise of failure: memory, prophecy, and temporal disjunctures of the South African twentieth century -- Weapons of struggle and weapons of memory: thinking time beyond apartheid -- Ancestors without borders: the cattle killing as global reimaginary |
| Summary |
Taking the Xhosa cattle killing as her focus, Wenzel offers something paradoxical: a new, anti-canonical canon of South African writing. Concerned with historical and literary 'failures', this work is a reflection on the fragmentary and spectral nature of echoes, influences, and prophecies |
