"The media is telling lies, it's all lies!" : post-apartheid racism and discourses of place-identity in a small town.Pillay, Suntosh Rathanam. January 2010 (has links)
When a young white man from the small town of Swartruggens chose the informal settlement of Skierlik to go on a killing spree, this was labelled racist by the media. Only black people lived in Skierlik, and small towns in the North West province had a reputation for being racially divided. This study examined the impact of this event on residents’ identities, specifically because it was widely publicised and discrediting to the town. Problematised places potentially threaten residents’ sense of self. The concept of place-identity was used here from a discursive psychological framework, arguing that self-in-relation-to-place is socially constructed in the conversational space of human dialogue. Thus, this analysis exposed the spoken discourses that maintain and reproduce racialised constructions of place-identity in post-apartheid South Africa. Forty two semi-structured interviews were conducted in either English, Afrikaans or Setswana, during a two-week stay in the town. Despite the literature showing that place-identity threat in problematised places result in residents trying to preserve a positive place-identity, the data in this study shows a different trend. The central argument is that discourses of victimhood are constructed by both black and white residents, but for divergent purposes. White residents argue against negative media versions of Swartruggens, while black residents amplify disadvantage and promote media versions. Indian residents, largely omitted from media reports, maintain a positive place-identity by constructing an ambivalent third space of participant-observer in the town, geographically and socially separate in a black/white divide. The analysis is situated in relevant broader pre- and post-apartheid ideologies. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sci.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2010.

Racism reduction in South Africa : a framework for understanding and designing an intervention programRogatschnig, Marc Johann 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA) -- University of Stellenbosch, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This review explores the availability of programs aimed at reducing racism in South Africa. A
summary of legislation and policy directives is included to provide clarity and inject impetus into
the need for such programs. There were difficulties in receiving information and reviewing such
programs and therefore a conceptualisation of racism is provided along with an examination of
current manifestations thereof. To assist in the future design of racism reduction programs a
detailed exposition of principles shown to be crucial to racism reduction is also provided. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie literatuur oorsig ondersoek die beskikbaarheid van programme wat daarop gemik is om
rassisme in Suid-Afrika te verminder. 'n Opsomming van wetgewing en staatsbeleid word as
verklaring en motivering vir die behoefte aan sodanige programme ingesluit. Aangesien daar sekere
probleme ondervind is tydens die insameling van inligting, asook by die ontleding van sodanige
programme, word daar gefokus op die konsep van rassisme, asook op die huidige voorkoms
daarvan. In 'n poging om die ontwikkeling van toekomstige programme wat daarop gerig is
om rassisme te verminder, te vergemaklik, word daar 'n gedetailleerde uiteensetting van sekere
beginsels wat onteenseglik verwant is aan die vermindering van rassissme, ook weergegee.

Can These Bones Live? A Collection of StoriesHoey, Danny M., Jr. 05 1900 (has links)
The collection concerns itself with race, gender, masculinity, marginalization, the act of violence as a means of self expression, identity and the performance of identity, love, and loss. The collection also uses historical events-more specifically, events that are central to black culture in Northeast, Ohio- to situate the characters and witness their response to these historical events. I strive to illustrate blackness as both political and fragmented with the characters in my collection. My characters believe that what they are doing-exacting violence, abusing women, disrespecting each other- is somehow the normative; that somehow what it is that they have learned is how they should perform black identity.
