Abstract
This thesis aims to understand how kwaito music constructed the Y-generation's black sexual identity during the rainbow years (1994-1999) in post-apartheid South Africa. The thesis argues that identity is constructed through performativity, as it is an active process of becoming and doing. In order to understand the new discourse of identity in 1994-1999 kwaito music elements of the music group Boom Shaka will be analyzed. These elements create representations of black sexuality, which become the tools through which identity is thus constructed. This construction of identity will lastly been understood in terms of dis-identification, as the process of identity construction through kwaito has a particular political reaction to the history of racial control in South Africa. |
