Blending in the Rainbow Nation - The Racial Integration of Schools and Its Implications for Reconciliation in Post-Apartheid South Africa (Hardcover, annotated edition)

Blending in the Rainbow Nation takes a critical and detailed look at the young generation in post-Apartheid South Africa and examines ways in which members of the group relate to and engage with the post-Apartheid process of social and political reconciliation. To investigate whether and to what extent such processes are in fact taking place, Tihanyi focuses on the institution of the school, each one carefully chosen to represent the full range of economic and racial diversity present in the Cape Town area of South Africa. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this book presents the schools through vignettes rich in detail, which in turn feeds into an analysis of the success and failures of racial integration and the consequent impact of these processes on reconciliation. In addition to presenting an analysis of the present situation, this wonderfully clear and well-written work also proposes potential solutions to some of the current challenges being faced.
