Includes bibliographical references (leaves 99-106). This research attempts to represent and analyze the life-story narratives of a group of five former anti-apartheid combatants. Narratives were collected from a total often, in-depth, life-history interviews with five former-members of the Khayelitsha Internal Forces. The Internal Forces represent a group of ex-combatants who were operating in the Western Cape as a para-military Self Defense Unit (SOU) during the 1986-1994 period of popular township revolt. The first stage of analysis consists of five re-constructed summaries of each of the participant's narratives with a particular focus on common themes running through the experience of childhood to the experience of joining the internal forces. 2014-10-06T11:20:32Z 2014-10-06T11:20:32Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8114 eng application/pdf University of Cape Town Faculty of Humanities Department of Sociology
