Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

The Democratic moment is, among other things, a look at the mass forces that swept Jacob Zuma to power in 2009 and put an end to the elite politics of the Thabo Mbeki era. Trenchant and provocative as always, Xolela Mangcu looks at the new configuration of power in South Africa and in the process illuminates such topics as the new black elite, the role of Julius Malema, the cartoons of Zapiro and the fortunes of COPE. His is a book that will stimulate ideas, provoke discussion, create controversy and help us understand where we are as a society and a nation.
