Accepted Paper:
JZ: politics as usual?
Sarah-Jane Cooper-Knock
(University of Edinburgh)
Paper short abstract:
This paper explores Jacob Zuma's rise and rule within the ANC to explore statehood and citizenship in South Africa.
Paper long abstract:
This paper explores Jacob Zuma's rise and rule within the ANC. I ask what the political crises that he has faced and avoided can tell us about statehood and citizenship in South Africa. Turning to the future, I explore the political imaginaries and identities of South Africa's poorest citizens, asking what impact their politics will have upon Zuma's prospects, and the prospects of the ANC more broadly.
