Complicities - The Intellectual and Apartheid (Paperback)

Complicities explores the complicated - even contradictory - position of the intellectual who takes a stand against political policies and ideologies. The author argues that intellectuals cannot avoid some degree of complicity in what they oppose and that responsibility can only be achieved with their acknowledgement of this complicity. He examines the role of South African intellectuals by looking at the work of a number of key figures - both supporters and opponents of apartheid.
