Critical Discourse Analysis Of Nelson Mandela's Speech "i Am Prepared To Die"



Authors : Bekkai Selma . Frid Daoudi .

Abstract

This article presents a critical discourse analysis of Nelson Mandela's "I Am Prepared to Die" speech delivered in 1964. Drawing on Critical Discourse Analysis, the analysis examines the language, discourse strategies, and underlying assumptions and values expressed in the speech. The article argues that Mandela's speech was a powerful tool for challenging and transforming political and cultural norms in apartheid South Africa. It demonstrates the ways in which discourse can be used to mobilize social movements, challenge power relations, and transform cultural and political contexts. The analysis also highlights the importance of critical discourse analysis in understanding the ways in which language is used to shape power relations, social inequality, and cultural and political contexts.
