For nearly ten years – indeed more if we include his period of influence under Mandela’s presidency – Thabo Mbeki bestrode South Africa’s political stage. Despite attempts by some in the new ANC leadership to airbrush out his role, there can be little doubt that Mbeki was a seminal figure in South Africa’s new democracy, one who left a huge mark in many fields, perhaps most controversially in state and party management, economic policy, public health intervention, foreign affairs and race relations. If we wish to understand the character and fate of post-1994 South Africa, we must therefore ask: What kind of political system, economy and society has the former President bequeathed to the government of Jacob Zuma and to the citizens of South Africa generally? This question is addressed head-on here by a diverse range of analysts, commentators and participants in the political process. Amongst the specific questions they seek to answer: What is Mbeki’s legacy for patterns of inclusion and exclusion based on race, class and gender? How, if at all, did his presidency reshape relations within the state, between the state and the ruling party and between the state and society? How did he reposition South Africa on the continent and in the world? This book will be of interest to anyone wishing to understand the current political landscape in South Africa, and Mbeki’s role in shaping it.

Boken skulle kunna betraktas som ett slags memoarer och vanligtvis brukar ju människor som skriver om sig själva medvetet utlämna vissa detaljer. Men det är inget som ligger för McKaiser. På sin snabba prosa berättar han hur han blev våldtagen när han var sju, om sin skam över att vara färgad (med det menar han mer än den märkliga definition som vita använder sig av) och om sina vilda lekar i svarta mäns (hans favoritpartners) sovrum. Varje kapitel inleds med en självupplevd historia, som McKaiser använder sig av för att skapa diskussion om vad han anser vara sjukliga sydafrikanska förhållningssätt. Frågorna han väcker fungerar alldeles utmärkt att fundera över sett ur ett svenskt samhällsperspektiv. Om du läser boken, kommer du då att bli känslomässigt berörd, stämd till eftertanke, road och underhållen? Ja, om det råder ingen som helst tvekan.
