Survival of the Dispossessed

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intersection of Athol Fugard's works and South African politics, this book delves into his texts rather than his personal activism. Unlike Wole Soyinka, who is deeply involved in political movements, Fugard's political commentary emerges through his plays. Born in Middleburg, Fugard has had a notable career as a playwright, director, and actor, with significant roles in his own works like Blood Knot and Boesman and Lena. The book offers an analysis of how his writings reflect the complexities of the socio-political landscape in South Africa.
