- Information
Description
This book is developed from the framework of locating childhood and adolescence within the wider context of South African society.
The merging world-view and identity of South African children are described.
A portion of the book describes the psychological traumas associated with political unrest and a society undergoing major transition, paying particular attention to three major traumas: child abuse and neglect, children who have been the victims of an unjust and inequitable educational system, and children caught in the war of political violence.
The book addresses issues within the South African context by recognizing the effects of the wider social, economic, and political setting.
By promoting a better understanding of diverse cultures, a mechanism is in place for bringing about reconciliation in a divided society.
