South Africa'sinsurgent citizens - On dissent and the possibility of politics - Julian Brown
Twenty years on from South Africa's first democraticelection, the post-apartheid political order is more fractured, and morefractious, than ever before. Police violence seems the order of the day whether in response to a protest in Ficksburg or a public meeting outside amine in Marikana. For many, this has signalled the end of the South Africandream. Politics, they declare, is the preserve of the corrupt, theself-interested, the incompetent and the violent. They are wrong. In South Africa'sinsurgent citizens, Julian Brown argues that a new kind of politics can be seenon the streets and in the courtrooms of the country. This politics is made by anew kind of citizen one that is neither respectful nor passive, but insteadinsurgent. The collapse of the dream of a consensus politics is not a cause fordespair. South Africa's political order is fractured, and in its cracks newforms of activity, new leaders and new movements are emerging.
