Abstract: 

This essay to celebrate and honour Ari Sitas draws on my research experience on the development of South African labour studies as a counter-hegemonic current. It highlights Ari's theoretical contributions to the field of labour studies, as well as to general sociology. The article discusses in some detail The Flight of the Gwala Gwala Bird (2016) as well as Voices that Reason: Theoretical Parables (2004).
