The historical roots of post-apartheid intra-working-class racism by Tlhabane Mokhine ‘Dan’ Motaung

“… Both European colonialism and apartheid shaped the economic history of South Africa, at the heart of which was the super exploitation of Black labour for the benefits of capital, the state, and white labour. While the early mercantile and agricultural economic stages influenced South Africa’s racial capitalism, it was the era of the mineral revolution in the late 19th century – as well as the attendant imperative for cheap, Black labour – which formed the bedrock of the Union of South Africa in 1910 and later necessitated the rise of the apartheid state. …”

Queering Gay Tourism as Activism: Guy Hocquenghem’s Political Journey in the United States by Thomas Muzart

“…Consistent with Guy Hocquenghem’s reluctance in Le désir homosexuel (1972) to identify fully as a homosexual while being one, his travel guide entitled Le gay voyage (1980) uses the trend of gay tourism while denouncing its contributions to capitalism and normativity. Focusing on the entries dedicated to New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, this article shows how the guide politicizes the ways in which homosexuals in the United States have been inventing new ways of life, which, in the words of Jack Halberstam, elaborate queer understandings of time and space that can inspire the aftermath of the sexual revolution while resisting homonormativity.…”
