Abstract In this essay I consider the role of memory in the creation of the post-apartheid nation: how does memory--individual and communal--function in the shaping of nationhood? Specifically, how does a text such as Antjie Krog's Country of My Skull, which seeks to straddle the divide of personal, individualised memory and collective memory, contribute to this process in post-apartheid South Africa?
