Description

This collection brings together a series of essays that combine the public and private nature of dissent, stories of dissent that encapsulate the mood of an historical or cultural period, or of a society. Dissent is most memorable when it is public, explosive, dramatically enacted. Yet quiet dissent is no less effective as a methodical unstitching of social and political mores, rules and regulations. Success depends, perhaps, less on intensity than on determination, on patience as much as courage. Moreover, although many persistent dissenters often gain an iconic status, most live dissent in the fabric of their ordinary lives. Some combine both. Imprisoned at Robben Island for 27 years, his image and voice erased from the print media or airwaves, Nelson Mandela remained even in jail one of the most powerful agents of dissent in South African society until his freedom in 1990. Deep connections, deep commitment, profoundly personal convictions and courageous public dissent are some of the threads that bind together this diverse and exciting collection of essays. Alone, each essay explores dissent and consent in stimulating and distinct ways; together, they speak both of the effects of dissent and consent and of their affective energies and potential. This book was originally published as a special issue of Life Writing. About the Author Anne Collett is an Associate Professor of English Literatures at the University of Wollongong, Australia. She has edited Kunapipi: Journal of Postcolonial Writing and Culture since 2000 and has written extensively on postcolonial poetry and women’s writing and visual arts, including most recently, essays on Jamaican Canadian poet Olive Senior and Australian poet, Judith Wright. Tony Simoes da Silva teaches literature at the University of Wollongong, Australia. Recent publications include work on displacement and identity as conveyed through literary representations of refugees; on civil conflict and gender in the work of Nigerian novelist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie; and on Australian film and literature.
