Democracy as Death
The Moral Order of Anti-Liberal Politics in South Africa

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Speakers: Jason Hickel and Hylton White

Chair: Catherine Burns

“This is political anthropology at its best, a brilliant meditation on politics and culture in South Africa today. Its lessons go to the heart of one of the most vexing contemporary issues on the African continent – the possibility of democracy in an illiberal world. Masterfully-written and smartly-argued. Democracy as Death will be required for scholars across the disciplines.”
- Charles Piot, author of Nostalgia for the Future: West Africa After the Cold War
 
Jason Hickel is a postdoctoral fellow at the London School of Economics.
He is co-editor of the book Ekhaya: The Politics of Home in Kwazulu-Natal.
