- Summary:
-
"This book considers the consequences of the coincidence of two revolutions in South Africa at the end of the Cold War. Michael H. Allen explains the social forces, forms of consciousness and structural constraints that undermined apartheid and preserved national unity, and yet later constrained democratic sovereignty. A unique theoretical synthesis from several critical perspectives informs this study of South African political economy up to the early years of the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET.
