Between/Beyond Derrida and Mandela: Reading our fractured societies

A recent essay by Musab Iqbal (current student of the MA in Diversity and the Media) published in World Bulletin 
Between/Beyond Derrida and Mandela: Reading our fractured societies

The ‘meeting’ of Derrida and Mandela is intersection of two events, two sides of our political reflection; this ‘meeting’ is a meeting of experience and reflection in all possible sense....

Musab Iqbal 
In just less then ten year’s time Nelson Mandela left this world, after Jacques Derrida. Derrida met Mandela in 1998, eight years after his release from the prison but Derrida’s interest in him was from his prison days.
