Abstract

In her collection of short stories, Intruders (2018), the South African writer Mohale Mashigo uses a speculative lens to consider the future of Africa in a time of impending crisis. While her stories illustrate the postcolonial other as a potential future victim in a perspective suggested by Agamben’s state of exception, they also demonstrate a balancing of the global with the local and a sense of agency that are specific to the author and to the situation of post-transitional South Africa.
