The pictorial narrative of the Boer pioneers who conquered South Africa's interior during the 'Great Trek' (1835-52) represents a crucial period of South Africa's past. Forming the concept of the frieze both reflected on and contributed to the country's socio-political debates in the 1930s and 1940s when it was made. The frieze is unique in that it provides rare evidence of the complex processes followed in creating a major monument. Based on unpublished documents, drawings and models, these processes are unfolded step by step, from the earliest discussions of the purpose and content of the frieze through all the stages of its design to its shipping to post-war Italy to be copied into marble and final installation in the Monument. The book examines how visual representation transforms historical memory in what it chooses to recount, and the forms in which it depicts this. It also investigates the active role the Monument played in the development of apartheid, and its place in post-apartheid heritage. The second volume, to be published later this year, expands on the first, considering each of the twenty-seven scenes in depth, providing new insights into not only the frieze, but also South Africa's history. 606 $aFries 606 $aSüdafrika 606 $aVoortrekker 606 $aART / History / Ancient & Classical$2bisacsh 615 4$aFries. 615 4$aSüdafrika. 615 4$aVoortrekker. 615 7$aART / History / Ancient & Classical. 700 $aRankin$b Elizabeth, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0888257 702 $aSchneider$b Rolf Michael, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996333143003316 996 $aFrom Memory to Marble$91984215 997 $aUNISA
