What sort of position can a white writer take in the context of the new South Africa? This problematic question is at the heart of South African author J.M. Coetzees writing. His first eight novels, though different in style, all explore the different modes of discourse through which he, as a white South African author, can convey the reality of living in a country that has seen such a rapid shift in power.

Of course, this is a story played over and over in American cities; against their intentions and interests, artists work enzyme-style on run-down urban neighborhoods, leading the way for bistros and boutiques. The transformation of Soho from abandoned warehouses to Pradaland is a particularly dramatic example, but not at all unique. Rents are rising in the South End and Jamaica Plain as well, and artists are getting very worried. It looks like...
