Includes bibliographical references and index
Writing resurrection and reversal: the cattle killing and other nineteenth-century millennial dreams -- Spectral and textual ancestors: new African intermediation and the politics of intertextuality -- The promise of failure: memory, prophecy, and temporal disjunctures of the South African twentieth century -- Weapons of struggle and weapons of memory: thinking time beyond apartheid -- Ancestors without borders: the cattle killing as global reimaginary
