Abstract
AbstractThere is a deep connectivity between the construction of peoplehood and the fabrication of rituals, especially national secular rites of commemoration. The article examines this connection through an analysis of the process of ritualisation in post‐apartheid South Africa focusing on Nelson Mandela's incarceration on Robben Island and subsequent efforts to create a memorial to both person and place.
