South Africa, it is an extensive land with deep mystery enchantment. Naturally its former president, Thabo Mbeki, and his inaugural address excited my curiosity. The speech, as we shall see, is vastly different in the wording and views, with a burning desire to shake up the continent along with his missionary zeal about bringing the state of the country to public notice. Firstly, according to protocol, he hailed to everyone present, that includes the dignitaries, senior politicians, and more…

Everything changed when Eisenhower gave a speech that it caughts other countries and The main point of this war was to stop communism from spreading because they didn’t want other countries to adapt to the same…

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom by August Wilson, is a play about ‘displaced Southern black people struggling to survive in a hostile Northern urban environment’ (Adell, 1993, 54), which emphasises the harsh realities of 1920s America for African-Americans. Ma Rainey and her band are indeed familiar with these harsh realities, and it is the white studio owner Sturdyvant, along with Ma Rainey’s white manager Irvin, who contribute to this harsh reality facing African-Americans. I will examine throughout…

1. Postcolonialism, Censorship and History of South Africa 1.1 Postcolonialism To determine the definition of “post-colonial” and “postcolonial”, as well as the hermeneutical difference between the terms, is not merely a question of orthography or terminology. It is largely depending on the historical period that is being looked at, the way one decides to explore it, and evidently what is being looked for. The hyphenated term “post-colonial” seems to imply an epoch or a distinct historical…

Native Canadian writing exposes the pain of racial segregation. No writer worth his salt has ever glossed over the racial violence meted out to them by the colonizers. In poignant and poetic prose they have poured out their sufferings with dignity asking that they be treated with respect and honour. Frantz Fanon in his Black Skin, White Masks poses the question: “What does a black man want”? He gives the answer that a black man wants to be white. It is perhaps natural tendency of mimicry.…

I generally do not watch war movies; simply because they are too gory and I find them uninteresting. However Welcome to Dongmakgol is a different story. During the Korean war three north Korean and 2 south Korean soldiers accidently cross paths in a village called Dongmakol.

wider social and political context by looking at aspects such as racial separation and the role of the individual and their community. This can be seen by looking at Hassen’s behaviour towards his brother because of Apartheid. The story is set in South Africa; however, the characters are of Indian heritage which shows how racial injustices are linked to the issues of Apartheid. During Apartheid the Group Areas Act was enforced and it plays a central role in “The Hajji” because it comments on…
