In Midfielder's Moment, Grant Farred explores the ways in which political fissures are being articulated in the "new" South Africa. By examining the politics, literature, & culture of an historically disenfranchised constituency-the colored community-this collection of essays sheds critical light on the current issues raging within the post-apartheid state. From an essay explicating the colored vote in the Western Cape, to a critical rethinking of the 1960s protest writers (how Richard Rive, Arthur Nortje, & Jennifer Davids can be understood in view of recent events), to an in-depth analysis of the way that sports delineate the racial & class tensions underpinning the society, Midfielder's Moment is a timely exploration of & intervention into the South African ideo-logical landscape from the perspective of the colored community.
