Synopsis

With writing adapted from and inspired by the Accidental Academic—a provocative thought-leader blog that challenged the assumptions of contemporary South Africa—this book tackles race and religion, provides an alternative take on the enigma of Julius Malema, tosses fresh insight into the Israel-Palestine conflict, and vents the frustrations and fears of the next generation. It is a collection of critical, irreverent and insightful writings from a man who belongs to “the next generation” – the generation of South Africans who have lived their lives largely outside of apartheid in a democratic country. It expresses the frustrations and concerns of this generation. But it also offers up an incredible amount of hope and positivity – it’s like a breath of very welcome and long overdue fresh air.
