South Africa has been described as "A World in One Country" and a
"Rainbow Nation." Its landscape ranges from miles of glorious
beaches to the inland desert of the Karoo, the sweeping grasslands
of the Highveld plateau, and the subtropical bush of the Lowveld.
Its ethnic makeup is equally varied. There are eleven official
languages, nine major black African tribes, two major white tribes,
as well as a representation of all the world's major religions. It
has a free market economy while communists share in government; one
of the world's most liberal constitutions and a deeply patriarchal
society; and very rich and very poor people coexisting. South
Africa has come through fire, and although there is still
considerable heat, it is doing pretty well. This insiders' guide
will introduce you to the universal warmth and cultural diversity
of its people, explain the backdrop of their troubled past, and
familiarize you with their everyday life so that you'll feel
comfortable whether you're invited to a shack in the townships, a
mansion in the suburbs, or a braai on the beach. You'll learn how
to stay safe in potentially dangerous areas, and you'll know where
to go if you want to feel like the only person on the planet.
