Description
Summary:Bibliography: leaves 99-104. === This research aims to analyse how post-apartheid South Africa has been constructed as society and nation in fictional novels that have been written in English, by South Africans in South Africa, which are set in South Africa and have been written specifically for adolescents. Five books that were published before 1994 and five that were published after 1994 were analysed in order to compare the way in which South Africa is depicted in the novels written during and after apartheid.
