The emergent new landscape of memory relies heavily on commemorative monuments, memorials and statues aimed at reconciliation, nation-building and the creation of a shared public history. But not everyone identifies with these new symbolic markers and their associated interpretation of the past. Drawing on a number of theoretical perspectives, this book critically investigates the flourishing monument phenomenon in South Africa, the political discourses that fuel it; its impact on identity formation, its potential benefits, and most importantly its ambivalences and contradictions.Afrika-Studiecentrum series ;v. 15.MonumentsSouth AfricaPost-apartheid eraSouth AfricaMemorySocial aspectsSouth AfricaPolitics in artSouth AfricaHistory1994-MonumentsPost-apartheid eraMemorySocial aspectsPolitics in art.968.06LO 91690rvkMarschall Sabine1158345MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785428903321Landscape of memory3722716UNINA
