The enormous hopes generated by South Africa's transition to democracy are already giving way to the grimmer realities of how little has changed for the mass of the population. Drawing on the rich structural and political understandings of radical South African intellectuals, this book explains why the new government has been unable to breach the boundaries of change erected by the privileged classes. It reveals why the democratic government has adopted conservative economic policies, and why the country's vaunted popular movement has failed to press home more radical options. The book's compelling analysis probes the hidden dynamics of South Africa's transition, arguing that the democratic breakthrough was much less open-ended than is generally believed.
