Description: "South Africa's new constitution has been hailed as the most progressive in the world. It grew from the determination of political leaders and administrators, and from enthusiastic public collaboration. This in-depth account of South Africa's long and difficult negotiating process records the dedicated efforts of those who charted the country's passage to constitutional democracy." "The Soul of a Nation is the definitive resource on negotiations between 1985 and 1996. It forms an indispensable record of the development of South Africa's constitution for lay and academic readers in law, history, political studies, and sociology."--Jacket.
