Summary "April 1994 will remain the historical watershed for two momentous events in the history of South Africa: the demise of the apartheid era and the dawn of a new democratic order. The transformation, which followed, was so profound and complex that in some respects it was like no other late twentieth-century transition. Indeed, the challenges and opportunities of the South African transition were daunting. Thus it is that the contributors to this book have chosen the first decade of our democracy as an appropriate period for the examination of some of the most difficult challenges on the route to 'becoming a democracy'."--BOOK JACKET
