Title: a CRITICAL EXAMINATION of ANTI-INDIAN RACISM in POST Title: A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF ANTI-INDIAN RACISM IN POST-APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA Student Name: ANNSILLA NYAR Student No: 441715 Supervisor: DR STEPHEN LOUW Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of the Witwatersrand (Wits). Department of Political Studies Faculty of Humanities University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) 15 March 2016 1 DECLARATION The candidate hereby confirms that the dissertation submitted is her own unaided work and that appropriate credit has been accorded where reference has been made to the work of others. Signed: Annsilla Nyar Student # 441715 2 A Critical Examination of Anti-Indian Racism in Post-Apartheid South Africa Abstract: This dissertation is a critical examination of anti-Indian racism in post-apartheid South Africa. While racism presents an intractable problem for all racial groups in South Africa, this dissertation will show that Indian South Africans are especially framed by a specific racist discourse related to broad perceptions of economic exploitation within the context of redistributive and resource-allocation conflicts, political corruption, insularity and general lack of a socio-cultural ‘fit’ with the rest of South African society. This is not unique to present day South Africa and is (albeit in evolving ways) a long standing phenomenon. Key concerns addressed by the dissertation are: the lack of critical attention to the matter of anti-Indian racism, the historical origins of anti-Indian racism, the characteristics and dynamics of anti-Indian racism and its persistence in post-apartheid South Africa despite an avowed commitment of South Africa’s new post-apartheid dispensation to a non-racial society. This dissertation argues that a particular set of structural circumstances largely due to the confluence of the ‘racial state’ (Goldberg, 2001) with social forces of culture and identity have located Indian South Africans in a space of ‘in-betweenity’ (Bulhan, 1980) and that anti-Indian racism is promoted and continually reproduced by the status of Indian South Africans as ‘in-betweeners’. The idea of ‘in-betweenity’ used in this dissertation is an adaptation of Bulhan’s concept of ‘cultural in-betweenity’ in 3 order to describe the different aspects (political, economic and socio-cultural) of the intermediary role played by Indian South Africans in South Africa’s socio-political order. The space of ‘in-betweenity’ occupied by Indian South Africans is seen to be one which is characterised by uncertainty, ambiguity and a perpetual testing of Indian South Africans in terms of their loyalty to South Africa as well as their authenticity in relation to indigenous South Africans. Within the constraints of the methodological challenges posed by investigating sensitive research terrain, certain data sources were deployed in order to help critically understand and analyse anti-Indian racism in post-apartheid South Africa. The data sources help to support the overall argument advanced by this dissertation, i.e. that a set of structural circumstances engineered by the ‘racial state’ (Goldberg, 2001) in combination with forces such as identity and culture, have trapped Indian South Africans into a state of ‘in-betweenity’ (Bulhan, 1980) which has contributed to the continued development of anti-Indian racism in post-apartheid South Africa. Furthermore the dissertation argues that a general environment of hostility and threat has forced Indian South Africans to imbibe negative perceptions and stereotypes in ways which reinforce a ‘vicious cycle’ of racism and continues to imprison Indian South Africans into the space of ‘in-betweenity’. A phenomenological approach was used in the dissertation to guide the methodology and ensure a commitment to qualitatively understanding the subjective nature of anti-Indian racism. 4 This dissertation contributes to the state of academic knowledge on anti-Indian racism by illuminating the historical origins of anti-Indian racism, the dynamics of contemporary anti-Indian racism and the reasons for its continued persistence in post-apartheid South Africa. In particular, the findings in this dissertation about the extent to which negative perceptions and stereotyping shapes and continues to sustain anti-Indian racism is an original contribution to academic knowledge about racism. 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to kindly acknowledge the Gauteng City-Region Observatory (GCRO) and the Ahmed Kathrada (AKF) Non-Racialism Project for use of the data sources cited in the study. Professor David Everatt, former Executive Director of the GCRO, is particularly acknowledged in allowing me the opportunity to work on this project. The GCRO/AKF Non-Racialism Project in its entirety remains a rich data source which will provide a wealth of critical insights for future generations of social scientists in the years to come. Indeed it is hoped that a future iteration of the GCRO/AKF Non-Racialism Project may be possible. During the course of this work I worked with two supervisors. I was firstly supervised by Professor Rupert Taylor, formerly Head of the Political Studies Department at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) and later on, Dr Stephen Louw, Senior Lecturer at Wits. From earliest inception of this work Professor Taylor has been a constant source of encouragement and support. I am grateful to Dr Louw whose thoughtful guidance and insights have deeply enriched this work and ultimately enabled its completion. I would like to thank those who shared all manner of resources with me, including their books and key pieces of literature which enriched this work. I am unable to thank each person individually as there are far too many to thank. I am especially indebted to all those who participated in my study, even despite time and scheduling 6 constraints as well as general reservations about the process and possible adverse consequences of participating in a research study about anti-Indian racism. My love of learning and the faculty for critical thought and scholarship was inculcated in me by my four guiding stars, all of whom are now late: my parents (Mrs Selvarani Nyar and Mr Gopalan Ramakristnan Nyar) and maternal grandparents (Mr Kasava Maistry and Mrs Saradembal Maistry). Therefore I ultimately owe this work to them. This dissertation is dedicated to them. 7 ABBREVIATIONS ANC African National Congress ANCYL African National Congress Youth League BCM Black Consciousness Movement BEE Black Economic Empowerment CBIC Cape British Indian Council CPC Coloured People’s Congress CoD Congress of Democrats CRT Critical Race Theory EEA Employment Equity Act DoL Department of Labour DP Democratic Party HoD House of Delegates IDC Indian Development Corporation IFP Inkatha Freedom Party KZN KwaZulu-Natal MK Umkhonto we Sizwe NDP National Development Plan NIC Natal Indian Congress NNP New National Party NP National Party PAC Pan African Congress PIO Persons of Indian Origin SACP South African Communist Party SAIC South African Indian Congress SAHRC South African Human Rights Commission TBIA Transvaal British Indian Association TRC Truth and Reconciliation Commission UDF United Democratic Front WCAR World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance 8 CONTENTS CHAPTER ONE: THE POSITIONING OF INDIAN SOUTH AFRICANS IN POST- APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA ............................................................................................ 11 Introduction to the study ...................................................................................................... 11 Concepts of Racism ............................................................................................................ 31 CHAPTER TWO: ‘IN-BETWEENITY’: A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING ANTI-INDIAN RACISM IN POST-APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA ........ 54 The conceptual basis of ‘in-betweenity’ ............................................................................... 57 How is ‘in-betweenity’ created? ........................................................................................... 63 CHAPTER THREE: HISTORICAL CONTEXTUALISATION OF ANTI-INDIAN RACISM IN SOUTH AFRICA ................................................................................................................. 83 The early history of Indian settlement in South Africa .......................................................... 85 Political mobilisation for Indian South Africans in response to anti-Indian legislation ........... 93 CHAPTER FOUR: METHODOLOGICAL DESIGN FOR THE STUDY .............................. 122 Key Epistemological Considerations ................................................................................. 131 An Outline of the Phenomenological Approach ................................................................. 137 CHAPTER FIVE: SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS OF DATA FINDINGS ON ANTI-INDIAN RACISM ............................................................................................................................ 154 Summary of findings on anti-Indian racism ........................................................................ 156 CHAPTER SIX: TOWARD AN EXPLANATORY FRAMEWORK FOR ANTI-INDIAN RACISM IN POST-APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA ........................................................................... 201 Revisiting ‘in-betweenity’ as a defining characteristic of anti-Indian racism ....................... 202 REFERENCES ................................................................................................................

  • Racism and Bad Faith
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Gregory Alan Jones for the degree ofMaster ofArts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Philosophy, Philosophy and History presented on May 5, 2000. Title: Racism and Bad Faith. Redacted for privacy Abstract approved: Leilani A. Roberts Human beings are condemned to freedom, according to Jean-Paul Sartre's Being and Nothingness. Every individual creates his or her own identity according to choice. Because we choose ourselves, each individual is also completely responsible for his or her actions. This responsibility causes anguish that leads human beings to avoid their freedom in bad faith. Bad faith is an attempt to deceive ourselves that we are less free than we really are. The primary condition of the racist is bad faith. In both awarelblatant and aware/covert racism, the racist in bad faith convinces himself that white people are, according to nature, superior to black people. The racist believes that stereotypes ofblack inferiority are facts. This is the justification for the oppression ofblack people. In a racist society, the bad faith belief ofwhite superiority is institutionalized as a societal norm. Sartre is wrong to believe that all human beings possess absolute freedom to choose. The racist who denies that black people face limited freedom is blaming the victim, and victim blaming is the worst form ofracist bad faith. Taking responsibility for our actions and leading an authentic life is an alternative to the bad faith ofracism.

    Inclusive Quality of Education Paul Harding, South Africa, email [email protected] Anil Sachdev, India, email [email protected] Pedro Saraiva, Portugal, email [email protected] Elizabeth Cudney, USA, email [email protected] The purpose of this white paper is to outline the meaning, scope, major concerns, and perspectives around “Inclusive Quality of Education”. It is the second paper in a series of thoughts collected, organized, and promoted by the Quality in Education Think Tank (QiETT) of the International Academy for Quality (IAQ). The first paper addressed a broader scope of topics and put into perspective the overall field of “Quality in Education”, which set a common ground for further reflection and guidance of QiETT activities. The forthcoming papers, such as this one, focus around more specific subjects and delve deeper into particular topics based upon the collection of international inputs from quality and education experts. The collected thoughts compiled in this paper are presented in the following pages, according to headings that correspond to clusters of contributions received from the authors. Each author has a different background and is from distinct continents, but all share in common, as core QiETT members, a passion to promote Quality in Education. To date, the collection of white papers comprises the following titles: “Quality in Education: Perspectives from the QiETT of IAQ” “Large Scale Training of Quality Professionals” “Inclusive Quality of Education” ABSTRACT Human capital quality is recognized and widely accepted as one of the key drivers for successful organizations and territories. That being the case, one can thus easily understand why “Quality Education” has been recognized by the United Nations (UN) as one of the 17 goals needed to transform our world, under the aimed Sustainable Development paradigm.

  • Amitav Ghosh – Thursday 11.30 – 13.00 Auditori
    ABSTRACTS IN ORDER OF INTERVENTION Panel 1: Amitav Ghosh – Thursday 11.30 – 13.00 Auditori Routes Beyond Roots: Alternative Ecological Histories in Amitav Ghosh's Sea of Poppies Maria-Sabina Draga, University of Bucharest This paper will attempt to read Amitav Ghosh's novel Sea of Poppies as an account of “world histories from below” (to use Antoinette Burton's term, 2012) and take the debate further through positioning the idea of writing alternative histories of the colonial times within an ecocritical context. While the need for such rewritings has always been a central preoccupation of postcolonial literature, the recent tendency (shared by Ghosh) has been to look at history from increasingly local, individualised perspectives. I will examine Ghosh's tracing of routes and connectivities across the Indian Ocean at the time immediately preceding the opium wars, focusing on the consequent reconsideration of human relationships and hierarchies in a post-human perspective. This perspective cuts across boundaries established by caste, social class, biology and geography, as well as by the colonial system, which Ghosh has long been interested in reimagining. While on board the Ibis identities become deterritorialised and fluid, they are disconnected from their various roots and paths established by rigid culturally conditioned frameworks. Connections are established between the human and other forms of life, forming a continuum across the trade routes of the Indian Ocean, which becomes a fluid space of rebuilding identities. I will position my discussion within a theoretical framework informed by Bruno Latour's concept of a politics of nature, Donna Haraway's nature-culture negotiations and Sangeeta Ray's studies of ecological intimacies.

    Indo-Caribbean African-isms: Blackness in Guyana and South Africa By Andre Basheir A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Andre Basheir 2013 ii Indo-Caribbean African-ism: Blackness in Guyana and South Africa Master of Arts, 2013 Andre Basheir, Sociology and Equity Studies in Education, University of Toronto Abstract In an attempt to close the gaps between diaspora and regional studies an Afro-Asian comparative perspective on African and Indian identity will be explored in the countries of Guyana and South Africa. The overlying aim of the ethnographic research will be to see whether blackness can be used as a unifier to those belonging to enslaved and indentured diasporas. Comparisons will be made between the two race models of the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean worlds. A substantial portion will be set aside for a critique of the concept of Coolitude including commentary on V.S. Naipaul. Further, mixing, creolization, spirituality and the cultural politics of Black Consciousness, multiculturalism, and dreadlocks will be exemplified as AfroAsian encounters. iii Acknowledgements Firstly, I like to thank all the people in the areas I conducted my fieldwork (South Africa especially). I befriend many people who had enormous amounts of hospitality. Specifically, Mark, Bridgette and family as well as Omar, Pinky and Dr. Naidoo and family for letting me stay with them and truly going out of their way to help my research efforts. Many thanks goes to a large list of others that I interviewed.

  • Avodah Racial Justice Guide
    Avodah Racial Justice Guide Historically, Jews of Color have been systematically marginalized, discredited, and discounted within Jewish organizations. Still today, our Jewish institutions rarely reflect the true diversity within the Jewish community. The Jewish community is stronger and more authentically rooted in justice when everyone has an equal seat at the table. This moment calls us to do the best, most authentic, and most effective work for justice that we can. We know that there are many kinds of injustice in our world, including racism, antisemitism, and white supremacy. This guide approaches our drive towards diversity, equity, and inclusion, primarily through a lens of race; it offers ways to understand, and work against, racism in our organizations. However, we also acknowledge the ways in which racism is intertwined with other forms of oppression, and in particular how antisemitism and racism are linked through white supremacy in the United States. To do our part in dismantling these systems of oppression and building a better, more just world, we need to understand how they affect each other, and we must do true coalition building. This is a pivotal time in the Jewish community as the COVID-19 pandemic and a widespread grappling with systemic racism have changed what it means to be in community and underlined the need for deep and meaningful change. The economic implications of the pandemic have yet to be fully realized, but as organizations look to tighten their budgets, racial equity and inclusion must not only remain a line item but also a foundation for building Jewish continuity.
