South Africa Pushed to the Limit
The political economy of change
H MARAIS
Close to half the South African population lives in poverty, jobs are scarce, and the country is more unequal than ever. In its wide-ranging, incisive and provocative analysis, South Africa Pushed to the Limit shows that although the legacies of apartheid and colonialism weigh heavy, many of the strategic choices made since the early 1990s have compounded those handicaps. Building on his acclaimed book Limits to Change, Marais examines South Africa’s most pressing issues – from the real reasons behind President Jacob Zuma’s rise and the purging of his predecessor, Thabo Mbeki, to piercing analyses of the country’s continuing AIDS crisis, its economic path and the changes wrought in the world of work. South Africa Pushed to the Limit presents a riveting benchmark analysis of the incomplete journey beyond apartheid.

Southern African Liberation Struggles
New local, regional and global perspectives
H SAPIRE & C SAUNDERS (EDITORS)
The writing of critical, reflective histories of southern African liberation movements is still in its infancy. Unlike the many hagiographic, justificatory or partisan accounts that have been published, this collection of essays examines the fissures and tensions that existed within them and seeks to present nuanced accounts of the international solidarity movements that flourished alongside the southern African liberation and exile movements. This collection of essays illustrates the intertwined histories of southern African liberation struggles and international solidarity movements from the 1960s to 1994, reflecting the new directions taken by local scholars and those writing from abroad.
SUITABLE FOR
• Academics and students of history and politics, and African Studies
• The educated lay reader interested in the recent history of southern
Africa.
