The xenophobic violence and discrimination that greets African migrants in post-apartheid South Africa highlights a social and political issue that threatens the idea(l) of the open pan-African society. The article looks at this xenophobia through the lens of J. M. Coetzee fictionalized memoir Summertime ‘Scenes from a Provincial Life’ and tries to develop a new understanding of South Africa’s relationship to the African ‘other’ – or to the ‘other’ Africa, relevant not only in the context of postcolonial studies but also in a more global perspective on social and cultural responses to processes of migration.

通过JM库切（JM Coetzee）的夏季“省级生活场景”的棱镜来了解南非的仇外心理

在种族隔离后的南非迎来非洲移民的仇外暴力和歧视突出了一个社会和政治问题，它威胁着开放的泛非社会的思想。这篇文章通过JM Coetzee虚构的回忆录《夏季的省事场景》研究了这种仇外心理，并试图对南非与非洲“其他”或“其他”非洲的关系有了新的认识。不仅在后殖民研究的背景下，而且在更全球化的角度来看待社会和文化对移民过程的反应。
