		Nortje wrote about being coloured and the paradox of being neither African nor European, while simultaneously having ties to both worlds.
		He wrote "about how the miscegenated past articulates itself through (and sometimes despite the denial of) the coloured body (65)." Nortje was neither debilitated nor silenced by his 'shameful origins,' but wrote about those origins in an attempt to construct a place, a belonging, for the coloured community in South Africa.
		Her "originality resides not in her refusal to be representative of a particular racial experience, but in her ability to do so elliptically (87)." Indeed, David's intentional neglect of the coloured voice "serves only to draw attention to its absence (98)." Farred's conclusions serve convincingly in his problematization of colouredness in South African writing.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Arthur Kenneth Nortje
		Kenneth Arthur Nortje's place in South African literature is by no means assured, yet the relatively small body of work published during his lifetime, as well as the posthumously published work has generated substantial critical attention.
		Arthur Nortje was born in Oudtshoorn, South Africa.
		In Toronto, Nortje “was popping amphetamines and barbiturates, absenting himself from his job and being unusually concerned about his health” (Leitch “Arthur Nortje: 1942-1970” 7).

		First, however, it should be illuminating to note contrasts between Arthur Nortje's modernist response to city life and the postmodernist reactions of both Horn and Jensma.
		The advice to Nortje would probably be uncompromisingly marxist: that Angst is a self-generated `disease' of the Western bourgeois-intellectual and can be cured by means of healthy social engagement; that, ideally, one should aim at a sense of clear-cut social-historical alternatives rather than dwell amid ambiguities of response.
		And, as I suggested in the Preface to this study, it is the responsibility of the critic, as opposed to the moral crusader, to attempt to surmount his own preferences and to entertain the various and often contradictory aspects of modern sensibility.

	Nortje, Arthur - Profiles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		NORTJE, Arthur (1942-70), South African poet, was born in Oudtshoorn and educated at Paterson High School, Port Elizabeth, where he was taught by the writer Dennis Brutus (Nortje and Brutus were both prize-winners of the Mbari poetry competition in 1962), University College of the Western Cape, and Oxford University, where he received a scholarship.
		Failure of relationships, an inability to establish enduring attachments, form the basis of much of Nortje's poetry, which is preoccupied with experiences of alienation and fragmentation.
		Exile is frequently cited as an important factor in explaining Nortje's sense of alienation.

		One of South Africa's most tormented writers-in-exile, the poet Arthur Nortje, has at last been done the justice of full, unexpurgated publication.
		Nortje, who committed suicide in Oxford in 1970 after leaving South Africa in 1965, was born of a coloured mother and a Jewish father.
		Now academic Dirk Klopper has brought together all of Nortje's poems -- and in some cases even reconstructed them - in a handsome volume of more than 400 pages.

		Many of the Protest authors "graduated" from popular journalism to literature, with a special predilection for autobiography.
		This course will study several of these autobiographies, among which Mphahlele's and Modisane's are arguably the most pivotal, but we will also read the poetry of Arthur Nortje and a selection of short stories from a variety of writers, some of which will include their journalistic work.
		This course, then, will map the trajectory of fl South African literature over this crucial period-one without which contemporary fl letters would be inconceivable, and will explore the links between autobiography, poetry, short stories, and the growth of the apartheid state.
