Challenges to Political Cosmopolitanism: The Impact of Racialised Discourses in Post-Apartheid South Africa
Original language description
One of the key challenges of post-apartheid South Africa has been the need to create a South African “nation.” The efforts of the leading African National Congress started with Nelson Mandela’s reconciliatory discourse of the “rainbow nation,” via Thabo Mbeki’s concept of the African Renaissance, to the current stream of racial nationalism articulated as “Africanisation”. The paper attempts to examine the dilemma the ANC as the major custodian of nation-building has been facing: how to reach a balance between a civic nationalism based on cosmopolitan values, and the need to redress the legacies of apartheid and persisting racial inequalities. It is argued that the current culturalist discourse of Africanisation is not only contentious but also dangerous for the cohesion of the fragile democratic society of post-apartheid South Africa.
