Disputing the notion of a 'miracle' transition in South Africa, the
author argues that the new South Africa had to happen as it did
because of the socio-historical make-up of the country and the
leading players involved.He identifies and explains some of the
turning points at which critical choices were made by local and
international forces. Alexander, a former leading political
activist and commentator who spent time on Robben Island, goes
beyond what he calls 'the effervescence of parliamentary debate and
grandstanding' and explores a range of issues in post-apartheid
South Africa including national identity and the rainbow nation,
the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the role and status of
language, showing the volatility, the tentativeness, and the
fluidity of the evolving situation. Neville Alexander teaches at
the Faculty of Humanities, University of Cape Town
