Keeping the noise of demonstrations, barricades, and clashes with the police at a distance, this ethnography of a poor people's movement traces individual commitments and the mainsprings of mobilization in the ordinary social and intimate life of activists, their relatives, and other township residents.\u003cbr\u003e Tournadre's approach picks up on aspects of activists lives that are often neglected in the study of social movements that help us better understand the dynamics of protest and the attachment of activists to their organization and its cause. What Tournadre calls a \"politics of the near\" takes shape, through sometimes innocuous actions and beyond the separation between public and domestic spheres.\u003cbr\u003e By mapping the daily life of Black and low-income neighborhoods and the intimate domain where expectations and disappointments surface, \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of the Near\u003c\/i\u003e offers a different perspective on the \"rainbow nation\"—a perspective more sensitive to the fact that, three decades after the end of apartheid, poverty and race are still as tightly interwoven as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/b\u003e  1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1 \u003c\/b\u003eA South African City   27\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2\u003c\/b\u003e The Sense of Community   46\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eInterlude 1: Football, Community, and Politics \u003c\/i\u003e  71\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3 \u003c\/b\u003e\"We Are the People Who Stay with Them in the Township\"   75\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003e\"My Blood Is Still Here, in UPM\"   102\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eInterlude 2: What Really \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eMatters\u003c\/i\u003e   121\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5\u003c\/b\u003e \"It Is Moral to Rebel\"   129\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e6 \u003c\/b\u003e\"We Do Not Discuss Politics\"   148\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e7 \u003c\/b\u003eLeaders in the Communities   174\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eInterlude 3: Breakups \u003c\/i\u003e  194\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e8 \u003c\/b\u003eLost in Transition?   199\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e9 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Community, the Movement, and the \"Outside World\"   228\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e10 \u003c\/b\u003e\"Yes, We Do the Same Thing\"   246\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eEpilogue \u003c\/b\u003e  263\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/i\u003e  269\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e  271\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/i\u003e   287\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e  307\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580486250776,"sku":"9780823299966","price":81.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-politics-of-the-near-on-the-edges-of-protest-in-south-africa-hardback-9780823299966","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
