Apartheid Remains

"In the years during which he researched and wrote this book, Sharad Chari practiced a long nearness to people and places subjected to apartheid's technologies of unmattering, which aimed to rob them of any meaning. From his insistent being with has come a magnificent, important work of great erudition and political amplitude and also the rare qualities of tenderness and solace." - Gabeba Baderoon, author of (Regarding Muslims: From Slavery to Post-apartheid) "In this capacious book, Sharad Chari traces the palimpsest of apartheid rule by giving us a chilling analysis of liberal formations of biopolitical subjection and their enduring power. And yet, Chari ensures that this is a book about political hope, illuminating movements, struggles, and insurgencies that constitute a genealogy of revolution. We need both in the times at hand: to better understand liberal government and its refusals and rebellions." - Ananya Roy, Meyer and Renee Luskin Chair in Inequality and Democracy, University of California, Los Angeles "Apartheid Remains provides a detailed history of the communities under scrutiny and does so both through broad-strokes history and through the moving personal profiles of the subjects he encounters. . . . It is an intellectual feat of no small proportion." - Grant Farred (Antipode) "Apartheid Remains is a moving and eloquently written ethnography . . . . It is essential reading for anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the multifaceted legacies of apartheid and its enduring influence on the present . . . ." - Bastien Dratwa (Urban Studies)
