| Abstract: | Intense struggles are currently underway within and between the African National Congress and its Alliance partners. In an effort to make sense of these struggles, the author revisits earlier South African debates over race, class, and the national democratic revolution. She focuses on multiple and changing concepts of articulation and their political stakes. She first traces important shifts in the concept in Harold Wolpe's work, relating these shifts to struggles and conditions at the time, as well as to conceptual developments by Stuart Hall in a broader debate with E. Laclau's work on populism, and with Laclau and C. Mouffe who take the concept in a problematic post-Marxist direction. She then puts a specifically Gramscian concept of articulation to work to explore how the ruling bloc in the ANC has articulated shared meanings and memories of struggles for national liberation to its hegemonic project - and how a popular sense of betrayal is playing into support for Jacob Zuma.
