In Search Of Post-Apartheid South Africa

Abstract

The terms of reference set out for this Colloquy summarize some of the unjust effects of the policy of apartheid on black South Africans, and correctly point out that "ending the legal and political structure of racial domination alone will not redress the social and economic conditions created by apartheid." The road which leads to the creation of a postapartheid government will naturally partially determine what options are available to that government, and so, although the focus of this article is on those options, attention will have to be given to the process by which apartheid is dismantled.
