Father figures in the texts reflect political and social climates in South Africa--at different times representing the oppressive apartheid government, righteous and authoritative liberation leaders, and the unfulfilled promise of a democratic South Africa. Grant Andrews examines how father characters are linked to storytelling; they narrate the lives of their children and their patriarchal power is constituted through narratives. He features authors such as Alan Paton, Nadine Gordimer, J.M. Coetzee, Zakes Mda, K. Sello Duiker, Mark Behr, Zoë Wicomb, Lisa Fugard, and Zukiswa Wanner. Stories of Fathers, Stories of the Nation also investigates how fatherhoods are being reimagined in light of shifting discourses of gender and identity. More recent novels have deconstructed the father figure and his paternal narrative power, representing conflicts around racial identity, sexuality, legacy, and how the sins of the father are visited on his children."-- $c Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 289-299) and index. 505 0 $a Chapter 1: Narrative power and paternal narratives in South African fiction -- Chapter 2: Paternal narratives at the dawn of apartheid: Cry, the beloved Country -- Chapter 3: The stifled narrative power of daughters: in the Heart of the Country and Burger's Daughter -- Chapter 4: Paternal narratives in the transition from apartheid: The smell of apples, Ways of dying and The quiet violence of dreams -- Chapter 5: Fatherhoods in post-transitional South African novels: 'the declining patriarch' 650 0 $a Fatherhood in literature. 650 0 $a Patriarchy in literature. 650 0 $a South African fiction (English) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a South African literature (English) $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Fatherhood in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921863 650 7 $a Patriarchy in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055095 650 7 $a South African fiction (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127180 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020142.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=563E9178DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
