• 1 2018-04-03T16:09:29+00:00 Anti-Eviction Movements towards Overcoming Racial Capitalism in Post-Apartheid South Africa 14 Module 1.3 plain 2019-01-03T16:03:25+00:00 This module explores how the ideological and insurgent practices of a localized anti-eviction movement disrupt the City of Cape Town’s post-apartheid strategies governing its marginalized metropolitan periphery. It focuses on how the movement’s insistence on grounding claims for decent housing in experiences of collective suffering and struggles for dignified livelihoods—rather than in individualized, universal and liberal legal rights—exposes and challenges the systemic racial capitalism underpinning persistent white wealth, property, and privilege.  
  Their rejection of the colonial-apartheid era racialized categorizations reproduced by the post-apartheid state in favor of building on a sense of shared struggles to create communal territories offers normative foundations for a possible social cohesion and unity capable of redressing historical injustices of racialized dispossession, oppression, and economic exploitation.
