This seminar will focus on a central question that frames the symposium is “What have we inherited from the past and what do we continue to reproduce?” Four young researchers’ from different parts of South Africa will talk about what we’ve inherited from South Africa’s colonial and apartheid past, and how these legacies and ‘inheritances’ work in the everyday. The seminar provides a space for these young researchers to engage us with their ideas about race and identity in the contemporary South African context.
