Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

`This is an important and original book, scholarly, but at the same time readable. It is better, in my view, than any recent book on the political economy of South Africa's transition.' John Sender, SOAS, Unversity of London `If students can read only one book on South Africa's transition, this should be the book.' Jaclyn Cock, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg `Hein Marais is probably the most intelligent and articulate author who writes about South Africa in a Marxist paradigm.' David Welsh, University of Cape Town

Reseña del editor:

In this extensively updated and expanded edition of South Africa: Limits to Change, Hein Marais analyses why the ANC government has adopted, and firmly pursued, conservative economic policies, despite their poor performance. In doing so he draws on and develops the rich structural and political understandings of radical South African intellectuals. In a penetrating assessment of the balance of forces, Marais examines the many, and often overlooked, ingredients of the ANC government's power, as well as the frailties and unexploited strengths of the country's popular movement. His book provides a benchmark critical analysis of South Africa's journey beyond apartheid.
