Beskrivning
The Soweto crisis of 1976 marked a watershed in South African political and social history. It focused the attention of the world on the injustice of South African society and started the long and tortuous process that has led to the dismantling of Apartheid. This book examines the role and increasing impotence of English-speaking intellectuals and liberals in South African politics from the 19th century until the Soweto crisis.
Paul B. Rich is Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Political Science at the University of Melbourne. This book is a sequel to his very successful White Power and the Liberal Conscience, originally published by Manchester University Press.
