Assistant Professor of Philosophy Zinhle ka’Nobuhlaluse had the essay, “An Ode to the Domestics, the Minors of Apartheid, My Grandmother Among Them,” published on the Caribbean Philosophical Association’s blog, Caliban’s Readings. It can be read here. The piece is a philosophical and personal meditation on Black women who worked as domestics under Apartheid, with a special focus on ka’Nobuhlaluse’s maternal grandmother. It explores how bureaucracy, racial capitalism, and patriarchal law rendered these women “minors,” even as their labour sustained families, homes, and the nation. Drawing on Black feminist and Africana philosophy, as well as autobiographical writing, ka’Nobuhlaluse thinks through archives not only as formal institutions but as living, intergenerational memory carried in bodies, stories, and ordinary objects. ka’Nobuhlaluse wrote this essay while teaching an FYS on Apartheid.
