The dynamics of black identity formation in contemporary South Africa

"This book is about the ambivalence and contradictions of black identity. Ambivalence in this context speaks of black identity as being historically grounded in an encounter with whites and an encounter with racism. The book seeks to understand how black South African are shaping a sense of self in the changing socio-historical context of post-apartheid South Africa. The central question is: with the political change in South Africa, how has black identity changed, and is there still a psychology of oppression in the way in which black identity is constructed today?"--
