The xenophobic attacks that started in Alexandra, Johannesburg in May 2008 before quickly spreading around the country caused an outcry across the world and raised many fundamental questions: Of what profound social malaise is xenophobia – and the violence that it inspires – a symptom? Have our economic and political choices created new forms of exclusion that fuel anger and distrust? What consequences does the emergence of xenophobia hold for the idea of an equal, non-racial society as symbolised by a democratic South Africa? Go Home or Die Here hopes to make sense of the nuances and trajectories of building a democratic society out of a deeply divided and conflictual past, in the conditions of global recession, heightening inequalities and future uncertainty. The authors hoped to pose questions that would lead both to research and to more informed, reflective forms of public action. With extensive photographs by award-winning photographer Alon Skuy, who covered the violence for The Times newspaper, the volume is passionate and engaged, and aims to stimulate reflection, debate and activism among concerned members of a broad public.Foreword – Bishop Paul Verryn Introduction – Eric Worby, Shireen Hassim and Tawana Kupe Chapter 1 A Torn Narrative of Violence – Alex Eliseev Chapter 2 I Did Not Expect Such a Thing to Happen – Rolf Maruping Chapter 3 (Dis)connections: Elite and Popular ‘Common Sense’ on the Matter of ‘Foreigners’ – Daryl Glaser Chapter 4 Xenophobia in Alexandra – Noor Nieftagodien Chapter 5 Behind Xenophobia in South Africa – Poverty or Inequality? – Stephen Gelb Chapter 6 Relative Deprivation, Social Instability and Cultures of Entitlement – Devan Pillay Chapter 7 Violence, Condemnation, and the Meaning of Living in South Africa – Loren B Landau Chapter 8 Crossing Borders – David Coplan Chapter 9 Policing Xenophobia – Xenophobic Policing: A Clash of Legitimacy – Julia Hornberger Chapter 10 Housing Delivery, the Urban Crisis and Xenophobia – Melinda Silverman and Tanya Zack Chapter 11 Two Newspapers, Two Nations?

South Africa’s future is increasingly tied up with that of India. While trade and investment between the two countries is intensifying, they share long-standing historical ties and have much in common: apart from cricket, colonialism and Gandhi, both countries are important players in the global South. As India emerges as a major economic power, the need to understand these links becomes ever more pressing. Can the two countries enter balanced forms of exchange? What forms of transnational political community between these two regions have yet to be researched and understood? The first section of South Africa and India traces the range of historical connection between the two countries. The second section explores unconventional comparisons that offer rich ground on which to build original areas of study. This innovative book looks to a post-American world in which the global South will become ever more important. Within this context, the Indian Ocean arena itself and South Africa and India in particular move to the fore. The book’s main contribution lies in the approaches and methods offered by its wide range of contributors for thinking about this set of circumstances.Introduction South Africa–India: Historical Connections, Cultural Circulations and Socio-political Comparisons Isabel Hofmeyr and Michelle Williams Chapter 1 Gandhi’s Printing Press: Indian Ocean Print Cultures and Cosmopolitanisms Isabel Hofmeyr Chapter 2 Steamship Empire: Asian, African and British Sailors in the Merchant Marine c. 1880–1945 Jonathan Hyslop Chapter 3 The Interlocking Worlds of the Anglo-Boer War in South Africa and India Pradip Kumar Datta Chapter 4 The Disquieting of History: Portuguese (De)Colonisation and Goan Migration in the Indian Ocean Pamila Gupta Chapter 5 Monty… Meets Gandhi … Meets Mandela: The Dilemma of Non-violent Resisters in South Africa, 1940–60 Goolam Vahed Chapter 6 Renaissances, African and Modern: Gandhi as a Resource?
