Pappa in Afrika
Anton Kannemeyer aka Joe Dog, and Danie Marais
Published by Jacana Media (2010)
ISBN 10: 1770098712 ISBN 13: 9781770098718
Surveying the debates about race that enliven and confuse daily life in South Africa, this album of underground comics brings together artwork and pointed satire to tackle colonialism and its ongoing legacy. The book adopts the style of Hergé’s Tintin for its cover, but that innocent first impression is soon replaced by what's inside: a relentless critique of the hypocrisy and racist attitudes of white society—and many spoofs about the greed and corruption among Africa’s new political elite.
Bringing together recent drawings, paintings and prints by Anton Kannemeyer, Pappa in Afrika offers a confrontational and witty critique of European colonialism and its ongoing legacy in Africa. Kannemeyer juxtaposes factual and realistic images with outrageous comic imagery and provocative text. Parodying Hergé's Tintin in the Congo (1931), he delves into the underlying racism of the colonial project and the corruption that persists in Africa today. Kannemeyer also takes on the vigorous debates around race that enliven and shadow daily life in South Africa. In an accompanying essay, poet and journalist Danie Marais offers a compelling argument for art like Kannemeyer's that simultaneously provokes and entertains.
