Please join me in celebrating the launch of my monograph. We Are Not South African explores how national identity functions as a colonial tool of communication, control, and power. In the book, I examine how humans and the planet are integrally shaped by the idea of the nation and speculate on how different sociopolitical imaginaries, instead of the nation, could inform ways of being-together in the world.
