These are the things that sit with us

Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela

0/5 ( ratings)

Our country has a complicated history, and this history has affected
the present. These are the things that sit with us makes visible the
undocumented everyday experiences that shaped the lives of ordinary
South Africans during the country’s brutal and painful past. It
is a record of things that ‘sit’ within all of us. By sharing their memories,
the storytellers map the scope of the wider, more difficult
conversation about the meaning of justice and the missing parts
of the discourse of reconciliation in South Africa. It creates a space
for a conversation about South Africa’s history and what it means
to talk to and to hear the other within the context of this history.
In publishing each story in Xhosa, Afrikaans and English, we hope
that the book will stimulate conversation among South Africans
across languages.
