Thyssen, Candy Lynn Gobodo-Madikizela, Pumla Boonzaier, Floretta Research Psychology Includes bibliographical references. The significant changes to the political landscape of South Africa since the abolition of apartheid and the implementation of democracy have had far-reaching effects in social order and gender relations. With the new dispensation has come the promise of new opportunities for men and women of all races to participate fully in the creation of a multicultural society, making the issue of transformation an important agenda. As a social artifact, children's literature has also been influenced by these changes, and the didactic function of this medium make it an interesting site to explore the ways in which historical stereotypes are both perpetuated and challenged. This study focused on the representation of black masculinity in a sample of South African children's literature published after apartheid. The aim was to investigate how race, gender, and class intersect in the representation of black masculinity. 2014-12-30T19:53:00Z 2014-12-30T19:53:00Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10648 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
