解説
In Morafe, Khumisho Moguerane has written a luminous exploration of two generations of the prominent Molema family. They were "border people" who straddled what would become present-day South Africa and Botswana. The book begins in the 1880s at the frontier of the new British territories of Bechuanaland (North West and Northern Cape provinces) and the Bechuanaland Protectorate (Botswana), where the political boundary between these two territories was negligible and where skin color did not yet necessarily connect with a particular social or political status or affect economic opportunity.
Morafe ends in the 1950s, when the political boundary mattered profoundly, dividing two very different colonial dispensations of racial ordering and classification, and two separate traditions of nationalist politics. With this landmark publication, Moguerane reveals that "the nation" is less "out there," in public institutions and political struggles, and more "in here," in the everyday drama of personal and ordinary lives.
