Reviews

'Nixon has done an excellent job of deconstructing the dubious roles South Africa has been made to play in the mind of an erratic yet persistent international imagination...vastly informative and tactfully moving.' Rosemary Jolly, Research in African Literatures, Vol 28, No.2. 'For scholars especially involved in examining the much contested features of South African cultural history, Nixon's book is extraordinarily important.' Jeanne M. Colleran, Modern Fiction Studies, Vol 42, No. 1 'Even the reader reasonably well acquainted with South African culture is likely to learn a good deal from Nixon's well-researched and informed discussion.' Brian Crow, African Affairs, Vol 95, No. 378.
