      ab: The article analyzes the student uprising against the apartheid movement in Soweto, South Africa on June 16, 1976. The analysis is made referring to memory texts such as the photograph depicting the lifeless body of student protestor, Hector Pieterson, the rehearsal of the events of the uprising by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the Hector Petersen Museum, and the commemoration of June 16th as Youth Day by the government of South Africa. It is stated that such memory texts serve to connect private with public life and personal with social memory. It is concluded that national identity is neither fixed nor is composed of a final or finite set of memories but it is a product of the dialectical relationship between remembering and forgetting.
