Race Trouble provides an analysis of the racial situation in post-apartheid South Africa and makes an argument for a shift in focus in the social sciences, from racism to race trouble. Transformation is reshaping the socio-economic and social psychological dimensions of life in South Africa, which continues to be racialised in profoundly troubling ways. Durrheim, Mtose and Brown, leading authors in their field, develop a theory of the production of racially troubled identities by way of an analysis of discourse, spaces and routines for perpetuating segregation and inequality. They argue that these practices and identities are better analysed in terms of their architecture and choreography than glossed as racism. Instead of making judgements of racism, this innovative and accessible book confronts the ways that we do race in our everyday interactions.
Kevin Durrheim is Professor of Psychology at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, where he teaches social psychology and research methods. He has published extensively on topics related to racism, segregation and social change.
Xoliswa Mtose is a social activist and holds the position of Executive Dean in the Faculty of Education at the University of Fort Hare. The complexity and multiplicity of ‘blackness’ are central analytical categories in Mtose’s work within post-apartheid South Africa. She is actively involved as a member of the Anti-Racism Network in Higher Education.
