Much has been written about the reconciliation process in post-apartheid South Africa, but Tihanyi's ethnographic study of 11th grade students in Cape Town is the first to examine this important theme with reference to equity in education. The author makes a compelling case that reconciliation in the schools will be a long process and will not succeed without significant restitution. She reminds us that in the schools, as in the rest of South African society, history matters.
