Cultured Violence: Narrative, Social Suffering, and Engendering Human Rights in Contemporary South Africa
Angebote / Angebote:
Cultured Violence"explores contemporary South African culture as a test case for the achievement of democracy by constitutional means in the wake of prolonged and violent cultural conflict. Drawing on and juxtaposing narratives of profoundly different kinds--the fiction of J. M. Coetzee, public testimony form the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, documents from former Deputy President Jacob Zuma's rape trial, and personal interviews among them--in order to illuminate different cultural senses of the "state of the nation" and retrieve otherwise elusive descriptions of South African subjects taken from accounts of their individual lives.
