Re-examining Ubuntu as a Tool for Social Cohesion: The Silenced Immigrant Voice and Unjustifiable “Moral Arrival” of the Migrant in Post-apartheid City Writing by Mpe, Duiker, Moele, and Beukes

Underpinned by Leonard Praeg’s notion of “ontological betrayal” in ubuntu as lived-praxis, this article argues that post-apartheid “city writing” by Phaswane Mpe, K Sello Duiker, Kgebetli Moele and Lauren Beukes humanises “migrants” (those who journey to the South African city from rural South Africa) while neglecting “immigrants”, or black-African arrivals from outside the borders of South Africa. Consequently, a re-examination of the structure and function of ubuntu as a tool for social cohesion is necessary to counter negrophobic and xenophobic versions of an authentic “African” identity.

重新审视 Ubuntu 作为社会凝聚力的工具:Mpe、Duiker、Moele 和 Beukes 在后种族隔离城市写作中沉默的移民声音和移民不合理的“道德抵达”

在伦纳德·普拉格 (Leonard Praeg) 将 ubuntu 中的“本体论背叛”概念作为生活实践的基础上,本文认为,Phaswane Mpe、K Sello Duiker、Kgebetli Moele 和 Lauren Beukes 的后种族隔离“城市写作”将“移民”(那些前往来自南非农村的南非城市),而忽视了“移民”,或来自南非境外的黑人非洲人。因此,有必要重新审视 ubuntu 作为社会凝聚力工具的结构和功能,以对抗真正的“非洲”身份的仇视黑人和仇外心理版本。
