Cultured Violence
Narrative, Social Suffering, and Engendering Human Rights in Contemporary South Africa
Description:... This study explores contemporary South African culture as a test case for the achievement of democracy by constitutional means in the wake of prolonged and violent conflict, and addresses ethical issues normally approached from within the discourses of law, the social sciences, and health sciences, through narrative analysis. It draws from and juxtaposes narratives of profoundly different kinds to make its point: fictional narratives, public testimony, and personal testimony.
