Summary |
This study grapples with fundamental questions regarding what type of revolution took place in South Africa over a more then 50 year long struggle. Each chapter grapples with the questions related to the idea that the revolution in South Africa was a substantive revolution, because of its insistence on the establishment of a democratic and constitutional state that recognized the thoroughgoing wrongs of the colonial and apartheid past. |
