Mandisa Majuva writes in an article on the website of the Centre for Civil Society at the University of Kwazulu-Natal: "Postcolonial subjectivities are, among other things, concerned with ways to divest white supremacist thinking, ways to subvert and challenge social relations that reinforce white supremacy. In carrying out this project, postcolonial subjectivities interrogate literature – searching and questioning why certain oppressive personalities are being re-inscribed. They interrogate history books – searching and questioning why certain memories are not worth recording. In this globalised world, where there are “global movements”, postcolonial subjectivities investigate social movements – raising questions about who speaks for and write about movements, who informs the politics of social movements."
