Description: "Youth and Identity Politics in South Africa examines the ambiguities, contradictions, and negotiations involved in the participation of Zulu youth in the anti-apartheid struggle and their role in the formation of post-apartheid social identities. The author of the book, Sibusisiwe Nombuso Dlamini, spent four years in Greater Durban, working and talking with youth during the critical period that stretched from 1990 to 1994. Writing primarily about male youth, Dlamini begins her study with a discussion of three main influences on black youth culture: the internal divisions within black culture at large, the resistance of all black groups to the apartheid state, and the split between the political groups, resulting in the creation of the United Democratic Front (UDF), the African National Congress (ANC), and Inkatha."--BOOK JACKET.
