- Title
Bustin' Bonaparte: A Post-Apartheid Adaptation of Olive Schreiner's The Story of an African Farm.
- Authors
LAVIN, SOPHIE CHRISTMAN
- Abstract
This article examines how the South African film Bustin' Bonaparte (2004) presents a post-apartheid adaptation of Victorian colonialism in Olive Schreiner's 1883 English novel The Story of an African Farm. While both narratives utilize the surprising mode of play to unfold competing racial and gender hierarchies in colonial Africa, Lister's comedic film radically revises Schreiner's tragic novel to witness the hopeful post-apartheid nationalism of Africa's children.
