  • El Último Tren a La Zona Verde
    1/291 Hace ya una década, Paul Theroux narraba su épico viaje por tierra desde El Cairo hasta Ciudad del Cabo, y nos ofrecía una visión privilegiada del África moderna. Ahora regresa para descubrir cómo han cambiado en estos años tanto él como el continente africano. Entre «townships» y safaris a lomos de elefantes, entre paraísos naturales, tradiciones perdidas y zonas devastadas por la guerra y la avaricia desmedida de sus gobernantes, el autor parte de Ciudad del Cabo, se dirige al norte a través de Sudáfrica y Namibia, y se adentra en Angola para tropezarse con un entorno cada vez más apartado de las rutas turísticas y de las esperanzas de los movimientos poscoloniales de independencia. 2/291 Paul Theroux El último tren a la zona verde Mi safari africano defnitivo ePub r1.0 Titivillus 06.03.17 3/291 Título original: The Last Train to Zona Verde Paul Theroux, 2013 Traducción: María Luisa Rodríguez Tapia Retoque de cubierta: Titivillus Editor digital: Titivillus ePub base r1.2 4/291 Para Albert y Freddy, Sylvie y Enzo, con cariño de su abuelo 5/291 Cuando mi padre viajaba, no temía a la noche.

  • The Sadf Conscript Generation and Its Search for Healing, Reconciliation and Social Justice
    THE SADF CONSCRIPT GENERATION AND ITS SEARCH FOR HEALING, RECONCILIATION AND SOCIAL JUSTICE A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Philosophiae Doctor in the Practical and Missional Theology department Faculty of Theology and Religion University of the Free State Pieter Hendrik Schalk Bezuidenhout Study leader: Prof. P. Verster Bloemfontein January 2015 Translated by Suzanne Storbeck (June 2020) DECLARATION (i) I, Pieter Hendrik Schalk Bezuidenhout, declare that this thesis, submitted to the University of the Free State in fulfilment for the degree Philosophiae Doctor, is my own work and that it has not been handed in at any other university or higher education institution. (ii) I, Pieter Hendrik Schalk Bezuidenhout, declare that I am aware that the copyright of this thesis belongs to the University of the Free State. (iii) I, Pieter Hendrik Schalk Bezuidenhout, declare that the property rights of any intellectual property developed during the study and/or in connection with the study, will be seated in the University of the Free State. i ABSTRACT The former (Afrikaner) SADF conscript generation is to a large extent experiencing an identity crisis. This crisis is due to two factors. First of all, there is a new dispensation where Afrikaners are a minority group. They feel alienated, even frustrated and confused. Secondly, their identity has been challenged and some would say defeated. What is their role and new identity in the current SA? They fought a war and participated internally in operations within a specific local, regional and global context. This identity was formed through their own particular history as well as certain theological and ideological worldviews and frameworks.

  • A South African Diary: Contested Identity, My Family - Our Story
    How many bones must you bury before you can call yourself an African? Updated February 2012 A South African Diary: Contested Identity, My Family - Our Story Part F: 1975 - 1986 Compiled by: Dr. Anthony Turton [email protected] Caution in the use and interpretation of these data This document consists of events data presented in chronological order. It is designed to give the reader an insight into the complex drivers at work over time, by showing how many events were occurring simultaneously. It is also designed to guide future research by serious scholars, who would verify all data independently as a matter of sound scholarship and never accept this as being valid in its own right. Read together, they indicate a trend, whereas read in isolation, they become sterile facts devoid of much meaning. Given that they are “facts”, their origin is generally not cited, as a fact belongs to nobody. On occasion where an interpretation is made, then the commentator’s name is cited as appropriate. Where similar information is shown for different dates, it is because some confusion exists on the exact detail of that event, so the reader must use caution when interpreting it, because a “fact” is something over which no alternate interpretation can be given. These events data are considered by the author to be relevant, based on his professional experience as a trained researcher. Own judgement must be used at all times . All users are urged to verify these data independently. The individual selection of data also represents the author’s bias, so the dataset must not be regarded as being complete.

  • Engaging the Witness of Beyers Naude
    13591 ASM Oom Bey for the Future.FH11 Thu Aug 04 11:26:57 2011 Page 1 C M Y CM MY CY CMY K South Africa is a microcosm of the contemporary world. Here white and black, East and West, rich developed First World and poor developing Third World meet as in no other country in the world: this sets a tremendous challenge, but it is also a unique privilege. In the melting- pot of this meeting Christians who want to live out their faith have an incomparable opportunity to witness to justice, love of neighbour, truth and compassion. Beyers Naudé The Future and colour, colonialism and communism A Christianity which retreats into a personal piety with a faith divorced form life in all its aspects will not only lose its power to witness to the outside world, but it also stands in danger of losing its youth and thereby its whole future. We plead, therefore, that the Church in South Africa in its religious instruction should explain the relation between the Christian faith and e.g. such crucial problems as race relations, labour conditions, entertainments, the rights and responsibilities of man. If the Church fails to do this youth will naturally turn to other agencies for instruction and inspiration with the painful result that the church will be the loser. And such a loss may be irreparable. Beyers Naudé The Churches Answer of Young Peoples Questions Beyers Naudé was a remarkable man, and he has left us a remarkable legacy. This book and those to follow in this series on public theology will help insure that this legacy is not lost, but instead remains a firm foundation on which we can build.

  • Apartheid Namibia: a Focus on State Sponsored Cultural Festivals in Kavango Region
    THE FORMATION OF 'NATIONAL CULTURE' IN POST- APARTHEID NAMIBIA: A FOCUS ON STATE SPONSORED CULTURAL FESTIVALS IN KAVANGO REGION. MICHAEL UUSIKU AKUUPA STUDENT NO: 2559867 Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) at University of the Western Cape PROMOTER: PROF HEIKE BECKER 2011 1 ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates colonial and postcolonial practices of cultural representations in Namibia. The state sponsored Annual National Culture Festival in Namibia was studied with a specific focus on the Kavango Region in northeastern Namibia. I was particularly interested in how cultural representations are produced by the nation-state and local people in a post-colonial African context of nation-building and national reconciliation, by bringing visions of cosmopolitanism and modernity into critical dialogue with its colonial past During the apartheid era, the South African administration encouraged the inhabitants of its „Native Homelands‟ to engage in „cultural‟ activities aimed at preserving their traditional cultures and fostering a sense of distinct cultural identity among each of Namibia‟s officially recognized „ethnic groups‟. This policy was in line with the logic of South African colonial apartheid rule of Namibia, which relied upon the emphasis of ethnic differences, in order to support the idea that the territory was inhabited by a collection of „tribes‟ requiring a central white government to oversee their development. The colonial administration resorted to concepts of „tradition‟ and „cultural heritage‟ in order to construct Africans as members of distinct, bounded communities („tribes‟) attached to specific localities or „homelands‟. My central argument is that since Namibian independence in 1990, the postcolonial nation-state has placed emphasis on cultural pride in new ways, and on identifying characteristics of „Namibian-ness‟.
