ISBN: 9783898214988 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With the help of discourse analysis and ideology critique, Ellen Wesemuller establishes a theoretical framework to analyze African nationalism in apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa.

It shows that historically and analytically, there are two distinct concepts of nationalism: "constitutional" and "ethnic" nationalism. These concepts can be retraced in South Africa where they form the central antagonism of black political...
