Description

Essentially, History is the Home Address, by focusing on South Africa, takes into account the complexities that arise from the challenge of managing a nation that has come to be identified as the newest arrival to the class of the postcolonial state (Comaroff2005:129). Comaroff intimates further that one telling trope of the postcolonial state as a class or category is the systematic manifestation of "polities in motion" with integral diversities. If "motion" is integrally implied in the condition of the postcolonial state, it is made more pronounced by the fact of the demands globalisation makes on the nation-state. For that matter, History is the Home Address becomes a preoccupation with the implications of the constitutive "motion" and the migrancy that this motion generates. It is more cogently so because, like any other state, South Africa is not impervious to the intensity of external polities that impact on African nations. Needless to say, even after the return of many from exile in the wake of apartheid, the intricacies and intrigues that are at the core of neoliberal capitalism will continue to impact on the way South African citizens perceive themselves in relation to the consciousness of "collective being-in-the-world" (Comaroff 2005:129). On another plane, however, the orientation and attitude of internal governance in itself is a crucial variable in determining the progress or otherwise that the nation makes. In other words, it is impossible to adopt a totalist criticism of globalisation by putting all the blame on the acceleration of western imperialism. To an appreciable extent, therefore, the collaboration or complicity of the home government remains crucial to how economic violence, among others, acts as a vector for migration. Appropriately, then, History is the Home Address is a response to the intimate experience of the post-apartheid South African state in an age of neo-liberal capitalism. At another level of criticism, and as inscribed in the blurb, the understanding is that the poem "examines the relationship between African identity and ancestral guidance, and the impact of colonialism on that identity".
