Description: "This study focuses on the attitudes of Black, White, Indian and Colored (mixed race) university students to the concepts of power sharing, racial equality and democracy in the aftermath of South Africa's historic transformation. The study uses the survey method of gathering data.

The study was conducted a year after the first all-race elections in the history of South Africa, and is therefore distinctive in the area of originality and focus but also has the added advantage of analyzing racial attitudes relating to a fundamentally different political dispensation. It comprehensively analyzes not only the whole racial spectrum but also nine different universities, from the relatively non-integrated to the most integrated.

The study's findings will contribute greatly to the advancement of knowledge, and the data will be an important source of information for those interested in comparative politics and the sociology of race relations."--BOOK JACKET.
