Abstract Includes bibliographical references. - This thesis examines the subjective constructions of identity in the narratives of 'helpers' in the small town of Pofadder in the Northern Cape. It focuses on the impact of historical narratives on their intersectional positioning. This was part of a broader, national, Small Towns and Rural Transformation Research Project. The research trip took place over a two week period in July 2010, and interview subjects were identified through a combination of purposive and snowball sampling to best represent the variety of demographics and positionalities in the town.
