Police violence seems the order of the day – whether in response to a protest in Ficksburg or a public meeting outside a mine in Marikana. For many, this has signalled the end of the South African dream. Politics, they declare, is the preserve of the corrupt, the self-interested, the incompetent and the violent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are wrong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJulian Brown argues that a new kind of politics can be seen on the streets and in the courtrooms of the country. This politics is made by a new kind of citizen – one that is neither respectful nor passive, but instead insurgent. The collapse of the dream of a consensus politics is not a cause for despair. South Africa's political order is fractured, and in its cracks new forms of activity, new leaders and new movements are emerging.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54023170818392,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781783602971.jpg?v=1770885929","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/south-africas-insurgent-citizens-on-dissent-and-the-possibility-of-politics","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
