초록
Black people were discriminated against and displaced within a hierarchical system that demarcated “us” (Good, Beauty, White) and “them” (Evil, Ugliness, Black) during colonial times and the era of Apartheid in South Africa. In 1994, the system officially ended with the first non-racial election and the birth of a post-apartheid “rainbow nation.” But gradually many black people began to look suspiciously upon the New South Africa. They considered, and nowadays believe, that it no longer pursues peaceful coexistence or the creation of a new and better world for all. In fact, many frustrated critics have begun to regard the New South Africa as just another apartheid regime, and are dismayed at the regression to poverty and violence. This paper examines Phaswane Mpe's novel, Welcome to Our Hillbrow, which reflects on many of the old and new sets of problems facing the new South Africa through the stories of main characters Refentše and Refilwe. Socio-political problems such as corruption, crime, xenophobia and HIV/AIDS are highlighted, and the discrimination and hatred of others that are prevalent throughout South Africa, and by extension the whole world, are revealed. Readers are inspired to meditate on what the real meanings of the new world of equality and freedom, for all of us, are. In this way, Mpe shows the way forward to those who seeking to examine the New South Africa critically and to find answers to its problems and challenges. Indeed he goes one step further, inviting all of us to participate in building a genuine human-centric world filled with hope, reconciliation and peace.
Abstract
Black people were discriminated against and displaced within a hierarchical system that demarcated “us” (Good, Beauty, White) and “them” (Evil, Ugliness, Black) during colonial times and the era of Apartheid in South Africa. In 1994, the system officially ended with the first non-racial election and the birth of a post-apartheid “rainbow nation.” But gradually many black people began to look suspiciously upon the New South Africa. They considered, and nowadays believe, that it no longer pursues peaceful coexistence or the creation of a new and better world for all. In fact, many frustrated critics have begun to regard the New South Africa as just another apartheid regime, and are dismayed at the regression to poverty and violence. This paper examines Phaswane Mpe's novel, Welcome to Our Hillbrow, which reflects on many of the old and new sets of problems facing the new South Africa through the stories of main characters Refentše and Refilwe. Socio-political problems such as corruption, crime, xenophobia and HIV/AIDS are highlighted, and the discrimination and hatred of others that are prevalent throughout South Africa, and by extension the whole world, are revealed. Readers are inspired to meditate on what the real meanings of the new world of equality and freedom, for all of us, are. In this way, Mpe shows the way forward to those who seeking to examine the New South Africa critically and to find answers to its problems and challenges. Indeed he goes one step further, inviting all of us to participate in building a genuine human-centric world filled with hope, reconciliation and peace.
