摘要:This paper examines space, identity and power in Prince Albert, a small town in the South African Karoo, through analysis of white representations ofurban and socialchangeinthe town since the end of apartheid. In doing so, this analysis seeks to contribute tothe growing stream of critical philosophy concerned with the relationship between racialised systems of inequality and ways of knowing. By representingPrince Albert as 'tranquil'and 'charming', semigrant power elites in the town legitimate their dominance and control over the town's resources through spatio-temporal "epistemologies ofignorance."Through analysis of semi-structured in-depth interviews with white residents and government and planningdocuments, this paper demonstrates the ways in which concepts of heritage and tourism, as Western ideological constructs that serve elite white interests, can beantagonistic to the broaderSouth Africannational move towardsTransformation
