Op die boekeblad van een van die Sondagkoerante verskyn daar ‘n resensie oor wat ’n baie interessante boek blyk te wees, Bernard Wasserstein se oorsigtelike geskiedenis van Europa in die 20ste eeu tot die begin van hierdie eeu.

Die boek is ongelukkig nie op die Suid-Afrikaanse mark beskikbaar nie en mens moet dit regstreeks van die uitgewer oorsee bestel. Ek sien uit na die lees van my bestelde kopie; die resensent het mens se lus geprikkel.

’n Tema wat volgens die resensie deurslaan in dié beskouing van ontwikkelinge in Europa is die hardnekkigheid van etniese gevoelens as ’n werklikheid wat nie geïgnoreer kan word nie. Sommige vorige studies oor hierdie periode het die klem sterker laat val op klas as ’n definiërende faktor. Wasserstein verwys na nasionalismes en etniese mobilisering as groter meespelende faktore, iets wat weer met tragiese gevolge uitgespeel het in dele van Europa ná die val van die Sowjetunie en ander Oosblok-state. Die emigrasiepatrone na Europa het ook ’n verdere dimensie van groepsgegronde konflikpotensiaal tot gevolg.

The People's Revolutionary Congres. A party intent on representing Coloured interests in the next elections!

Saturday, 6 September 2008 is a day I won’t forget very easily. I was at the launch of the new political party, the PRC (The People’s Revolutionary Congress) which took place at Noordgesig Community Center in Johannesburg. Led by the charismatic duo Benny Marais and Basil Douglas, the PRC breaths some fresh air into a political arena that reeks with the putrid stench of incompetence, failure and indifference. 

Thanks to Zapiro's infamous cartoon which so succinctly captures the gist of brazen disrespect for South African institutions, we modified his original cartoon to portray something equally sinister. We're talking about the continued exclusion of Coloured South Africans by the SABC media and the complicit, almost active role played by people who wish to keep our voices from being heard. What happened to equality? Why is the Coloured community being held down and held back from enjoying the rights of freedom of expression with the organs of state that breathe life into these rights? It's disgusting...really!!

Don't mind me though...I'm Coloured!!
