Nation Building At Play: Sport As A Tool For Social Integration In Post-apartheid South Africa

Physical activities, fitness, and sports can be considered cultural practices reflecting multiple meanings. The "Sport Culture and Society" series deals with issues intersecting sport physical activity and cultural concerns. The focus of the series is interdisciplinary, groundbreaking work that draws on different disciplines and theoretical approaches, such as sociology, philosophy, cultural anthropology, history, cultural studies, feminist studies, post-modernism, or critical theory. Dr. Keirn describes another food to a future of equality and democracy for all South Africans, a $$$ not filled with the hurt of the past, but equally important in its capacity to heal. Sport has a meaningful and powerful role to play in the social transformation of South African society and care must be taken to provide the necessary conditions for success.
