Opis

The death of Nelson Mandela on December 5, 2013, was a wake-up call for South Africans a time to reflect on what has been achieved since South Africans of all colors voted for the first time in a democratic election. The essays in this fourth volume of the the "New South African Review" examine and analyze a broad spectrum of issues affecting the country, including topics as diverse as the state of organized labor; food retailing; electricity generation; access to information; civil courage; the school system; and South Africa s relationships with northeast Asia, with Israel, and with its neighbors in the southern African region. Taken together, these essays give a multidimensional perspective on South Africa s democracy as it turns 20."
