A deeply disturbing biography, cloaked in academic analysis but completely gripping, about a Limpopo rural high school teacher who was bewitched by his father. Jimmy Mohale died before the textbook crisis thrust the Limpopo basic education system into the limelight - but how can the traumatic effects of witchcraft not have affected his performance as a teacher? Witchcraft is a lived reality for many people in South Africa. It seems to have grown in influence in the last 30 years. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Witchcraft and a Life in the New South Africa reconstructs the biography of an ordinary South African, Jimmy Mohale. Born in 1964, Jimmy came of age in rural South Africa during apartheid, then studied at university and worked as a teacher during the anti-apartheid struggle. In 2005, Jimmy died from an undiagnosed sickness, probably related to AIDS. Jimmy gradually came to see the unanticipated misfortune he experienced as a result of his father's witchcraft and sought remedies from diviners rather than from biomedical doctors. This study casts new light on scholarly understandings of the connections between South African politics, witchcraft and the AIDS pandemic. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
