Whether we are going from bad to good or good to bad when we are crossing the line in the sand, coming to the place where all is new, or stepping over a border, we are likely to become disoriented, disenchanted, or merely dyspeptic. This collection of 12 articles from South Africa, a place with a vast experience of change and the new, describes the emotional impact of the experience and its effects on new literature. Articles address the process of becoming newly-cultured and populaire moving toward "Creole" identities, as found in the works of Hulme (the Bone People) and Wicomb (Davids Story), the transitory nature of borders and the links that transition builds, as in the case of Roy Campbells and William Plomers poetry, and the elements of space and the reconsideration of spatiality in such works as Coetzees Disgrace and in travel poetry.
