Résumé
This article compares fictional representations of post-catastrophe worlds in dystopian novels by South African authors Frank Owen and Lauren Beukes, who have chosen to set their fictional representations of a bleak future in the United States of America. The article interrogates this choice and, more generally, the way in which South, North and Afterland articulate the global and the local in their imagined dystopias.
