Presenter: Lenore Manderson
Lenore Manderson is Hillel Friedland Fellow and Visiting Professor at The University of the Witwatersrand in 2008, and returns to Australia on 31 May to spend 10 weeks in Melbourne. She was in Johannesburg when the violence erupted and in Mpumalunga as it spread out into rural areas where there are substantial numbers of immigrants without documentation. In this presentation she will provide her own perspective and analysis of what occurred from May 12, of the immediate and longer-term causes, of the discourses, commentary and practical action around the violence and in relation to foreigners’, and the potential political and economic fall-out.
