Description: "This book sets out to do two things.The first is to provide a guide to the key words and key concepts that have come to shape public and political thought and debate in South Africa since 1994. The second purpose is to provide a compendium of cutting-edge thinking on the new society. In this respect some of the most exciting thinkers and commentators on South Africa have tried to capture the complexity of current debates.The result is a concise and insightful guide to post-apartheid South Africa which should be useful to students, citizens, tourists, business managers, decision-makers - in fact, to anyone wanting to make sense of South African society today."--BOOK JACKET.
