A theoretically informed study of five major pro- and anti-apartheid intellectuals, showing the inevitability of complex and compromised positions, and the impossibility of pure ones.

Trade Review
“Complicities is an invaluable inquiry into the social, political, moral, and philosophical functioning of the intellectual, not just in the context of apartheid, but within every society blighted by racism, sexism, or the myriad of other forms of oppression and intolerance which mark our time.”—André Brink
“Philosophically informed and linguistically sophisticated, Complicities is an important contribution to the intellectual history of modern South Africa.”—J.M. Coetzee
