The articles encompass such diverse fields as politics, literature, cinema, welfare policies or education, and they all seek to explore the sea change which totally reshaped South African identity in the last fifteen years that followed the demise of apartheid. The notion of 'healing the wounds' is used both as a pretext and as a focal point to build up as complete a picture as possible of South Africa today. The specificity of the collection is to define healing as an ongoing process whose result seems to remain a rather elusive goal.Political science & theorybicsscAfrikanerseducationsocial policiessocial policySouth AfricaSouth African literaturetruth and reconciliation commissionPolitical science & theory968.066Teulié Gilles1098474Joseph-Vilain MélanieBOOK9910765525703321Healing South African Wounds3649742UNINA
