Abstract

Exploring the literary and political works of Sol Plaatje - South African writer, journalist and politician - it is my intention to research the impacts of a legislation that, starting from 1902, focused on controlling the native social and political participation in the South African Union, intensifying the segregationist character of the recently built national state. Beyond the political and literary works of Plaatje, my analysis also covers official sources - particularly a series of reports produced by commissions that were created to study the South African native, establishing thus the means to restrict native participation in South African politics. In the imbrication of these sources - literature, political writing, press and oficial sources - my aim is to reveal the organization of political and social resistance to the segregation policies (AU)
