Article Abstract:

An evaluation is done on whether sociologists in the 'South' are offered any creative breathing space by either the adoption of poststructuralist and postcolonial thought or the current indigenization drive of the African Renaissance initiative in South Africa. It is argued that the African Renaissance project with all its declarative noise will remain a 'non- happening' and a gestural comedy.
