Race - Ryland Fisher

This landmark study on race in South Africa pulls from extensive interviews with a wide range of subjects, from government officials such as South African education minister Naledi Pandor and the former South African ambassador Melanie Verwoerd to activists such as Rhoda Kadelie and Carel Boshoff. Addressing the subject head-on, this book reopens the debate at a time when issues of racial turmoil are making a slow, painful comeback. Put together, these original pieces explore the idea of race and its implications for the future of a nation living with highly charged racial passions.
