Description

On the eve of the democratic elections scheduled in South Africa in 2009, this collection of essays analyses the many ways in which South Africans have been trying to heal the wounds of apartheid, as advocated in Nelson Mandela’s famous 1994 speech, delivered at the dawn of the ‘ new ’ South Africa. The articles encompass such diverse fields as politics, literature, cinema, welfare policies or education, and they all seek to explore the sea change which totally reshaped South African identity in the last fifteen years that followed the demise of apartheid. The notion of ‘ healing the wounds’ is used both as a pretext and as a focal point to build up as complete a picture as possible of South Africa today. The specificity of the collection is to define healing as an ongoing process whose result seems to remain a rather elusive goal. À la veille des élections démocratiques prévues en Afrique du Sud en 2009, ce recueil explore les nombreuses stratégies mises en place par les Sud-Africains pour tenter de guérir les blessures de l’apartheid, obéissant ainsi à la fameuse injonction émise par Nelson Mandela en 1994, à l’aube d’une nouvelle ère pour son pays. S’ils évoquent des questions aussi diverses que la politique, la littérature, le cinéma, la politique sociale ou l’éducation, les articles ici rassemblés s’accordent tous à faire le bilan des changements impressionnants qui ont métamorphosé le paysage identitaire sud-africain au cours des quinze dernières années. Le prisme de la guérison des blessures du passé est à la fois le prétexte et le point focal de ce qui se veut un panorama aussi large que possible de l’Afrique du Sud aujourd’hui. La guérison y est envisagée comme un processus en cours, dont le résultat demeure, dans tous les domaines, pour le moins incertain.
