Produktbeskrivning
This book examines the impact of coal mining on the lives of former-labour tenant and rural communities in post-apartheid South Africa.
No Last Place to Rest: Coal Mining and Dispossession in South Africa is an exploration of the ongoing struggles faced by families in the Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal provinces of South Africa whose lives have been upended by the relentless expansion of coal mining operations.
These regions, burdened with the task of fulfilling the nation''s energy needs and boosting the country''s economy, witness daily the harsh realities of dispossession that extend far beyond the mere loss of property.
Dineo Skosana presents a compelling argument that dispossession remains a present-day reality and crisis, contradicting the notion that it is merely a relic of the past in the post-apartheid landscape.
It challenges the narrow perspective that equates land loss in material and economic terms only. Skosana considers the impact of grave relocations—a common occurrence in these mining-dominated locales— and the profound spiritual anguish and dehumanisation communities endure as their lands are excavated.
In African societies, connections to the land extend beyond the material; land has a sacred and ancestral value. Grave relocations disrupt this connection families have with their ancestors. In dispossessing not only the living but also the dead from their lands, the author argues that the act wounds the collective soul of a people, eroding their cultural heritage, and collective identity and belonging.
This book offers a rich ethnographic account of the experiences, struggles and resistance of the affected communities as well as a critical analysis of the legal and policy frameworks that enable their exploitation.
In relation to the ''land question'' in South Africa, No Last Place to Rest presents deep insights for communities, activists and government sectors acting in support of social justice and redress.
