Are Trout South African? explores questions about the complex community of humans, fauna and flora that make up South Africa. South Africanness usually refers to human identity, or at least to something with a valued place in our national history. In asking whether a fish species that was introduced as part of the process of colonial occupation could be called South African, this book uses discussions on trout, their history, the literature about them, scientific work on what is considered indigenous or alien, as well as the authors moving personal stories of fishing to provide an engaging and accessible exploration of a contested physical and cultural terrain.
