The book explains the social forces, forms of consciousness and structural constraints that undermined Apartheid, preserved national unity and yet, later constrained democratic sovereignty, as the imperatives of global markets clashed with the prior aspirations of the democratic revolution.
"A major contribution to scholarship...may well change the direction of thinking on South Africa's transition and on the nature of the post-apartheid state." - Peter Vale, Nelson Mandela Professor of Politics, Rhodes University (South Africa)
"A thoughtful and provocative analysis of the forces of globalization that both engendered the change to majority rule in South Africa but also constrained the social democratic reforms that the anti-apartheid movement had promised. Allen insightfully addresses issues of class, ethnicity, gender and nation in a post-Westphalian world." - Robert Mortimer, Professor of Political Science, Haverford College
