Reviews
Harnessing sophisticated scholarly literature on the subject, [Reddy] argues that South Africa's past as a settler colony ruled for decades by authoritarian white supremacists has made its transition to liberal democracy particularly difficult. * Foreign Affairs *
An important attempt to provide us with a framework for understanding present-day South African politics. * Anthony Bogues, Brown University *
Offers a radical, dissenting and original analysis of contemporary South Africa * Colin Bundy, Oxford University (Emeritus) *
This is a book that South African political studies has been waiting for. * Harry Garuba, University of Cape Town *
