Tsotsi Morris
Tsotsi Morrison
Presley Chweneyagae stars in the title role in the South African film 'Tsotsi,' winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. As Rosalind Morris has it, the tsotsi ‘invest s the township with commodity desire’ (Morris 2010: 99). But while stylishness can sometimes be marshalled for radical politics, as it was for instance in the zoot suit riots of 1943, the connection between stylishness and critique is not always obvious.
