"Social scientists have shown how freedom in South Africa has lost its meaning
for many in the country. Despondency about democracy is on the rise as the
promise of prosperity under a caring government continues to ring hollow for
many, thanks to poor governance, corruption and incompetence. Nicky Falkof is a
media studies professor who researches race and anxiety.
The Conversation
Africa’s Thabo Leshilo spoke to her about her book,
Worrier State, which
shows how narratives of fear manifest in mainstream and digital media, and the
role that ‘race’, class, gender, space and identity play in these in the
country."
