Abstract For many years, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela—in a number of his public statements and writings—frankly expressed his regrets regarding the strain that his anti-apartheid activism put on his immediate and nuclear family. From his marriage to Evelyn Mase, and later to his second marriage to Nomzamo “Winnie” Madikizela, one central thread that permeates both is the impact of colonial-apartheid dismemberment on the Mandela nuclear family. Thus, the focus of this article is on the critical analysis of a cultural text that was authored by the late former statesman to reflect on various aspects of his life. Relying on his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, the objective of the article is to understand how such a cultural text registers the idea of colonial-apartheid dismemberment as lived by the Mandela nuclear family under colonial-apartheid oppression. Besides the 27 years spent at Robben Island prison, much of Mandela's life was characterised by his neglect of family responsibilities, as a result of the lived realities of his activism against colonial-apartheid South Africa. Thus, using the case of Mandela's nuclear family structure, the article critically analyses the role of cultural texts such as autobiographies in registering colonial-apartheid dismemberment in South Africa.

重新审视南非的殖民肢解：关于文化文本和曼德拉核心家庭

摘要 多年来，纳尔逊·罗利拉拉·曼德拉（Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela）在他的一些公开声明和着作中坦率地表达了他对他的反种族隔离激进主义给他的直系亲属和核心家庭带来的压力的遗憾。从他与 Evelyn Mase 的婚姻，到后来与 Nomzamo “Winnie” Madikizela 的第二次婚姻，贯穿两者的一个核心线索是殖民种族隔离制度的分裂对曼德拉核心家庭的影响。因此，本文的重点是对已故前政治家撰写的文化文本进行批判性分析，以反思其生活的各个方面。依靠他的自传《漫漫自由路》，这篇文章的目的是了解这样的文化文本如何记录曼德拉核心家庭在殖民种族隔离压迫下所经历的殖民种族隔离分裂的想法。除了在罗本岛监狱度过的 27 年之外，曼德拉一生的大部分时间都以忽视家庭责任为特征，这是他反对殖民种族隔离南非的激进主义的现实生活的结果。因此，本文以曼德拉的核心家庭结构为例，批判性地分析了自传等文化文本在记录南非殖民种族隔离分裂过程中的作用。由于他反对殖民种族隔离南非的激进主义的现实生活。因此，本文以曼德拉的核心家庭结构为例，批判性地分析了自传等文化文本在记录南非殖民种族隔离分裂过程中的作用。由于他反对殖民种族隔离南非的激进主义的现实生活。因此，本文以曼德拉的核心家庭结构为例，批判性地分析了自传等文化文本在记录南非殖民种族隔离分裂过程中的作用。
