Histórias do apartheid, memória e pertencimento entre a população da diáspora sul-africana na Austrália

Abstract

It has been more than 20 years since the removal of the apartheid system, yet, for those who lived in apartheid South Africa, racialization remains a central feature of their subjectivity both inside and outside of the country. For the South African diaspora in Australia there are contextually specific psychosocial processes, socio-structural arrangements, and meaning systems that need to be negotiated, including the relationship with their home country. In this article, we outline aspects of the Apartheid Archive Project, which seeks to expand the official history through the inclusion of everyday people’s personal stories and narratives of life during apartheid.
