Riassunto

The sense of hope generated by South Africa’s unprecedented democratic transition is already giving way to the grimmer realities of how little has changed for the mass of the population. Whether it be jobs, income inequality, housing, or access to land, the powerful analysis contained in this book draws on, and develops, the rich structural and political understandings developed by radical South African intellectuals in the 1980s. It explains the reasons why the ANC, now that it is in power, has resisted calls for more radical options and instead pursued quite conservative economic management policies. The consequences--in terms of continuing poverty, ongoing violence and, in the longer term, declining support for the ANC and democratic institutions--are profound.
