Malimela, Mxolisi Garuba, Harry African Studies Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references. This research paper aims to critically interrogate Njabulo Ndebele’s reflections in the collection of essays, entitled, Fine Lines from the Box (2007). The paper engages with Ndebele’s argument that the post-apartheid South African transformation agenda would be futile if it failed to achieve a new and inclusive South African national culture. Thus, through an examination of selected essays from the collection, this mini-dissertation explores the manner in which he formulates the argument that post-apartheid national culture ought to be rooted on shared values and reflect the ideals of South Africa’s negotiated democratic dispensation. This argument is important not only within the context of South Africa’s negotiated settlement and Nelson Mandela’s promotion of reconciliation but also against the background of the binarisms that characterised the anti-apartheid struggle and the discourses that underpinned it. 2015-01-06T11:55:50Z 2015-01-06T11:55:50Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11529 eng application/pdf African Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
