Elite Transition is a seminal accounting of compromises and
struggles in post-apartheid South Africa. Combining original
documentation, insider anecdotes and theoretical insights, Patrick
Bond dissects a range of socio-economic continuities from old to
new South Africa. He deploys political-economic analysis and draws
upon case studies including social contracts, black economic
empowerment, housing, the Reconstruction and Development Programme,
World Bank and international financial influence, and corporate
power. The original edition of Elite Transition provided an
insightful review of South Africa's first years of democracy and an
optimistic account of the potential that still exists for a
progressive, grassroots resurgence of the liberation spirit. This
updated edition includes a lengthy Afterword that maintains a
scorching critique of elitist politics and economics. Most
importantly, the book provides context for the upsurge in popular
protest against the government's neoliberal policies since 2000.
