Overview

In this timely and highly readable book, Ryland Fisher, former editor of the Cape Times, interviews some South Africans of different hues on the idea of race, what it has meant to them and how they envision a future South Africa, steeped as the country and its people are in a highly charged and often unacknowledged world of racial sensitivity. As Fisher says, "I too am obsessed with race, but only because race has always been obsessed with me."

Amongst the interviewees are Naledi Pandor, Minister of Education; Wilmot James, executive director of the African Genome Education Institute; Rhoda Kadalie, journalist and human rights activist; Melanie Verwoerd,...

Overview

In this timely and highly readable book, Ryland Fisher, former editor of the Cape Times, interviews some South Africans of different hues on the idea of race, what it has meant to them and how they envision a future South Africa, steeped as the country and its people are in a highly charged and often unacknowledged world of racial sensitivity. As Fisher says, "I too am obsessed with race, but only because race has always been obsessed with me."

Amongst the interviewees are Naledi Pandor, Minister of Education; Wilmot James, executive director of the African Genome Education Institute; Rhoda Kadalie, journalist and human rights activist; Melanie Verwoerd, former South African ambassador to Ireland; Phatekile Holomisa, president of the Congress of Traditional Leaders of South Africa (Contralesa); and Carel Boshoff, the founder of Orania, an Afrikaner homeland established in 1991 in the Northern Cape.

At a time when issues of race are making a slow and often bitter comeback into the public arena, Ryland Fisher's Race is a thoughtful intervention, and one that will open up the racial debate anew.

About the Author:
Ryland Fisher is a former editor of the Cape Times. He is the CEO of Sekunjalo Media Holdings, and lives in Cape Town with his wife and children

    Self-Concepts of Race in South Africa

    Ryland Fisher is a journalist, former editor of the Cape Times newspaper in Cape Town, South Africa, and now the CEO of Sekunjalo Media Holdings in South Africa. Ryland looks at the concepts of race in the New South Africa (since 1994).

    He does not develop this topic solely out of his own observations, though these usually are presented in the introduction to each chapter's topic. Rather Fisher intends to present an analysis of the people. This volume is Fisher's summation and analysis of interviews with numerous individuals on the street.

    He thus provides us with a range of views from various South African citizens. Ryland looks at the various concepts of race, both overt and subconscious, current in the new South Africa since the abolishing of Apartheid. Fisher analyzes the the role of these concepts of race in topics such as personal and group identity, nationalism, racism in the media.

    He further considers the role of language (and its connotations of ethnicity) in society and politics, and other pertinent topics in a society under "Transformation," the move to regularize and integrate society since the first democratic elections in 1994.
