ABSTRACT
This chapter engages with the student-led protests that took place across university campuses in South Africa from 2014–2016 and that led to mass protests against inequality and social injustice in the aftermath of apartheid. The chapter focuses on how photographs made as part of these protests chart the emergence of new forms of resistant subjectivities in the face of violent responses on the part of the police and private security guards. The chapter situates these protests as a response to the legacy of impunity for apartheid and for the forms of violence that have characterised the post-apartheid state.
