Most of the author's writing and film/video making until the mid-1990s was couched within an antiapartheid, explicitly Marxist framework. But, like all individuals, he has his contradictions. These are derived from his class, eth nic, and racial determinations. This reflexive article negotiates the author's experiences during the apartheid and postapartheid eras, from modernism to postmodernism. This chapter examines some of these influences on his professional experience, teaching, and research.
