Download or read book The Politics of Transition written by Richard Spitz and published by Witwatersrand University Press Publications. This book was released on 2000 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early 1990s, South Africans kept a close eye on the media coverage of South Africa's negotiated transition to democracy. Likened to a soap opera by some, the negotiations featured violent interlopers, dramatic walkouts, alliances and, somehow, a fortunate conclusion in the form of the Interim Constitution and Bill of Rights. The importance of the negotiating process and the Interim Constitution itself should not be underestimated, however, in relation to their longer-term influence over the form of democracy currently enjoyed in South Africa. In this brave publication, Spitz and Chaskalson examine the politics behind the Kempton Park negotiations and the Interim Constitution, and the influence that these have had on the subsequent consolidation of a South African democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Settlement After the War in South Africa It is now the greater part of four years since I first came to South Africa with the intention of carefully studying at first hand its various problems - political, racial, economical and legal. I had determined on a year's travel, deciding on South Africa instead of Australia or America on account of the fact that for many years past I have known as personal friends or acquaintances most South Africans of British or Dutch descent who have studied law at the Inns of Court in London - a connection which I have found of the utmost value and interest in my travels, as South Africa, whether Dutch or British, has been for a long time, and seems likely to continue to be, ruled largely by lawyers. My purpose was to write an impartially worded statement of the various burning questions, some of the developments of which have now fixed on South Africa the eyes of the civilised world - Boer and Uitlander in the Transvaal - Imperial or Republican factor, Dutch or British predominance in all South Africa - black and white - missionary and anti-missionary - Indian and anti-Indian - capitalist and labourer at the diamond fields of Kimberley and on the Gold Reef of the Witwatersrand - Roman-Dutch and British law in all South Africa.

Book excerpt: South Africa has succeeded in establishing a democracy, but has yet to eliminate public violence from society. This book takes up the issue of post-settlement violence and ways of consolidating the newly found democratic peace. The role of negotiated institutions such as the new police force, economic factors relevant to the anticipated 'peace dividend', external factors such as arms smuggling networks, popular responses to rising threats to physical safety, and symbolic factors in enhancing the capacity of the state to deal with this issue are examined.
Download or read book The Long Journey written by Steven Friedman and published by Raven Press (South Africa). This book was released on 1993 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most South Africans don't have the faintest idea what happened at Codesa, or is happening at subsequent multiparty negotiations. Plenaries, working groups, subgroups, independent election commissions, transitional executive councils, government of national unity... it's incomprehensible to almost everyone who hasn't been involved, and probably quite a few who have. The Long Journey -- South Africa's Quest for a Negotiated Settlement seeks to penetrate the fog. Written by a team of analysts associated with the Johannesburg-based Centre for Policy Studies, it outlines events that led up to constitutional negotiations, recounts the history of Codesa and its aftermath, and, most important, attempts to draw out the implications for our political future. This work is remarkable because it is both very comprehensive and very clear. It examines the workings of Codesa in great depth; there are detailed accounts of closed proceedings within the four working groups, based on interviews with prominent participants and confidential records of proceedings It graphically recounts events after Codesa's collapse, and the processes which led the parties back to the negotiating table. In mapping out the most probable political development paths, its clarifies the options open to the parties involved in negotiations and likely to govern South Africa in future. However, all this is presented in refreshingly pity and easily assimilable prose. The themes identified by The Long Journey will remain vital to the country's future into the next decade. It is richly illustrated with photographs, which in themselves provide a valuable record of this period.
Download or read book African Women and Apartheid written by Rebekah Lee and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this compelling study, Rebekah Lee explores the process and consequences of settlement through the everyday lives and testimonies of three generations of African women in Cape Town during the apartheid (1948-94) and post-apartheid periods. How did African women experience apartheid? How did they create a sense of belonging in a city that actively denied and resisted their presence? Through detailed analyses of women's management of domestic economies, their participation in township social organizations, their home renovation priorities and patterns of energy use, this study evokes a larger history of gendered and generational struggles over identity, place and belonging. It provides a deeper and more nuanced understanding of African women in apartheid and post-apartheid society, and of urbanization in South Africa. Drawing together scholarship and new methodologies from anthropology, history, human geography and development studies, "African Women and Apartheid" will be valuable to anyone with interests in South Africa, gender, urbanization, the African family, oral history and memory."--Bloomsbury publishing.
