Summary

This book investigates the consequences for the imagination and meaning of the land of the spatial politics of separation and division in South Africa principally during the apartheid years. It probes the uncertainty and ambiguity of identities and cultures in contemporary post apartheid society in order to gain a deep understanding of the history that individuals and society now confront. This critique examines the relationship between representation, landscape, politics and cultural identity in South Africa focussing on the twentieth century.
