Résumé :

The end of apartheid ushers in a new transitional stage for South African authors who challenge to explore original subject materials and envision a new future. While racial injustice remains a strong theme in post-apartheid literature, the postmodern environment takes into account a critical re-examination and recontextualisation as expounded by Zakes Mda in The Heart of Redness. The author explores new South Africa’s stories through beautifully realized characters whose search for love and connection takes up readers close to the black experience, past and present. This study seeks to examine the binarism of tradition versus modernity, from the black South Africans’ dilemma of where to position themselves between traditional beliefs and postliberation ambitions, hence the current subjects overlapped with postmodernist interpretations of post-apartheid challenges.
