Download or read book Kuyanuka and other Plays written by Gha-Makhulu Diniso and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2009-10-19 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kuyanuka and other Plays by Gha-Makhulu Diniso is also a collection of three one person plays; Kuyanuka was first performed in 1991, Koropa in 2000 and Shoeville in 2005. As critic Darryl Accone observes: It is precisely because of his conscience and commitment to true freedom that Diniso remains an artist neglected in his own country. Not for him complacency about the much lip-serviced Rainbow Nation, a least not while the stench of inequality not only persists but grow fouler by the day. There is no extravagant escapism imported from abroad and peddled to the nouveaux riches and petite bourgeois of the New South Africa. Instead though the creation of multiple characters reflecting the harshness of life under the neo-liberal economic order, Diniso expresses the problematic of celebrating political freedom when most black people find their living standards under threat and soaring unemployment and casualization undermining much of the early liberation promise.

Download or read book Botsotso 16 poetry short fiction essays photographs and drawings written by Botsotso and published by Botsotso Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Botsotso literary journal started in 1996 as a monthly 4 page insert in the New Nation, an independent anti-apartheid South African weekly and reached over 80,000 people at a time – largely politisized black workers and youth – with a selection of poems, short stories and short essays that reflected the deep changes taking place in the country at that time. Since the closure of the New Nation in 1999, the journal has evolved into a stand-alone compilation featuring the same mix of genres, and with the addition of photo essays and reviews. The Botsotso editorial policy remains committed to creating a mix of voices which highlight the diverse spectrum of South African identities and languages, particularly those that are dedicated to radical expression and examinations of South Africa's complex society.
Download or read book Ikasi and other plays written by Gha-Makhulu Diniso and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ikasi and other Plays by Gha-Makhulu Diniso is a collection of three one person plays; the first two, Ikasi and Igazi, were written and performed by him in the early 1990s; the third, Ekbog, is a product of the more recent period. As critic Adrienne Sichel notes, his theatre is best described as a theatre of defiance for many of the evils he satirizes relate to both the Apartheid regime and to the New South Africa: governmental and corporate arrogance and corruption facilitating a morass of greed and individualism at both a personal and public level. The language and techniques used are popular and surreal in equal measure; importantly Diniso has remained true to his native community, Sharpeville, a highly politisized township co-habiting uneasily with Vereeniging, well known as a conservative white town some hundred kilometers south of Johannesburg.

Download or read book Loud and Yellow Laughter written by Sindiswa Busuku-Mathese and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2016-12-23 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sindiswa Busuku-Matheses debut collection of poetry Loud and Yellow Laughter, published by Botsotso, was awarded the 2018 Ingrid Jonker prize for poetry. Busuku Matheses entry was described by one judge as completely original: the presentation of family history as a play, in which the narrator is an unreliable character. The poet was praised for the the mix of WW2 history, the narrators dilemmas about being adopted, and the way she manages to weave these together without ever losing her balance or falling into incongruity. Another judge highlighted how Busuku Matheses memoir in the form of a collage offers fragments in several voices, some of them reconstructed. [The collection] movingly reflects the quest of the The Girl Child, as intimate curator of family memory and experience, to integrate the surprising puzzle that is her current self. The original version of this collection was written as part of the poets Masters thesis in Creative Writing at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. A collection of 39 pieces, some mystical and elliptical, some seemingly mundane snatches of prose-poetry that retain a poetic intensity, together they create an atmosphere of nostalgia tinged with a subtle yet matter-of-fact sadness. Accompanied by a series of graphic images, made up of old photographic portraits and scenes of natural beauty.
Download or read book Inhabiting Love written by Abu Bakr Solomons and published by Botsotso Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second collection, following his debut A Season of Tenderness and Dread (published by Botsotso in 2018), Abu Bakr Solomons continues his exploration of the unfolding social and political milieu -worlds in transition - both locally and globally; the threats and compelling beauty which coexist in these complex human tragedies and triumphs so that the past and the present intersect in the psyches and consciousness of individuals and delivery of social movements. Love always forms an integral element in these engagements of upheaval and healing. Ultimately, the poems assert that the manifestation of love, in its various forms, personal, romantic or patriotic, is more than a mere outpouring of sentiments, for love spawns a context - a habitat - in which individuals battle to converge or combat in order to define their purpose.
