While the ruling National Party feared the integrative effects of television, they did not foresee how exclusion from globally unifying broadcasts would gradually erode their power. South Africa was barred from participating in some of television's greatest global attractions (including sporting events such as the Olympics and contests such as Miss World). With the release of Nelson Mandela from prison came a proliferation of large-scale live broadcasts as the country was permitted to return to international competition, and its re-admittance was played out on television screens across the world. These events were pivotal in shaping and consolidating the country's emerging post-apartheid national identity. Broadcasting the End of Apartheid assesses the socio-political effects of live broadcasting on South Africa's transition to democracy. Martha Evans argues that just as print media had a powerful influence on the development of Afrikaner nationalism, so the 'liveness' of television helped to consolidate the post-apartheid South African national identity."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aApartheid in mass media 606 $aTelevision and politics$zSouth Africa$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDevelopment studies$2BIC 607 $aSouth Africa$xHistory$vChronology 615 0$aApartheid in mass media. 615 0$aTelevision and politics$xHistory 615 7$aDevelopment studies. 676 $a968.064 700 $aEvans$b Martha$01262983 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154882303321 996 $aBroadcasting the end of apartheid$92955698 997 $aUNINA
