      ab: Part of a special section on the theorization of time and space. The writer examines the work of committed white writers in South Africa such as former political prisoner Jeremy Cronin, who is now Secretary of the South African Communist Party, and Barry Feinberg, curator of the Mayibuye Centre, and the work of black writers like Don Mattera, Seitlhamo Motsapi, Lesego Rampolokeng, and Daniel P. Kunene, in terms of racial and political positioning in South Africa. He contends that a radical remapping of South African cultural identity in utopianly unraced terms is attempted by writers like Cronin and Feinberg, whereas black writers like Mattera, Motsapi, Rampolokeng, and Kunene reclaim African and local South African place names in order to draw attention to the material reality of a postapartheid single society in which South Africa's postmodern landscape is being divided up and sold off in ways that mix a very old-fashioned rhetoric of class and space with a new/old coding of race.
