Handtekening: ……………………….. Datum: …………………………… Kopiereg © 2014 Universiteit Stellenbosch Alle regte voorbehou i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract In this research I investigated, with specific references to the three dramas, the ways in which the Coloured and his community were represented in the post-apartheid theatre. I examined identity formation through the theories of Erik Erikson and James Marcia’s identity theories, as well as theories with regards to race and ethnic identity. From these theories I came to the conclusion that the individual identity is a constant process of forming and reforming, especially during the adolescent years. Secondly, I examined group identity. A group is characterised by the nature of the relationships between its members, and also plays an important role in the structuring of the members’ identities. Group identification is a strategy for successfully handling the negative effects that are associated with ethnic minority groups.
