Breaking a Rainbow, Building a Nation is a first-hand account of the university protests that gripped South Africa between 2015 and 2017, widely better known as the #Fees Must Fall. Chikane outlines the nature of student politics in the country before, during and after the emergence of #Must Fall politics, exploring the political dynamics that informed and drove the student protests, and the effect that these #Must Fall movements have had on the nature of youth politics in the country. Chikane looks at how the current nature of youth politics is different from previous youth upheavals that have defined South Africa, specifically due to the fact that the protests were being led by so-called coconuts, who are part of the black elite.Breaking a Rainbow, Building a Nation poses the provocative question, can coconuts be trusted with the revolution?
