Washed with Sun
South Africa is recognized as a site of both political turmoil and natural beauty, and yet little work has been done in connecting these defining national characteristics. Washed with Sun achieves this conjunction in its multidisciplinary study of South Africa as a space at once natural and constructed. Weaving together practical, aesthetic, and ideological analyses, Jeremy Foster examines the role of landscape in forming the cultural iconographies and spatialities that shaped the imaginary geography of emerging nationhood. Looking in particular at the years following the British victory in the second Boer War, from 1902 to 1930, Foster discusses the influence of painting, writing, architecture, and photography on the construction of a shared, romanticized landscape subjectivity that was perceived as inseparable from "being South African," and thus helped forge the imagined community of white South Africa. In its innovative approach to South Africa's history, Washed with Sun breaks important new ground, combining the persuasive theory of cultural geography with the material specificity of landscape history.

It might be my fault that the spirits escaped from the crystals, but shouldn't identical twins share blame JUST BECAUSE? I have more pressing matters to focus on, namely Jeremy. Leigh doesn't understand that dating the captain of the Prep Pirates is a full time job. I'm late for detention, aka Academy of the Sacred Names Penal Colony, so we'll have to fret about Father, Eloise and the crystals later. What a bowl of jellybeans!
