This book gives a frank report on contemporary  South African society and the challenges which the new nation faces.  Sixteen social scientists, experts in fields as wide-ranging as  economics, politics, and development planning, have compiled a social  report on South Africa two years into democracy. \u003cbr\u003e  The volume covers critical concerns which impact on the well-being of  the average South African. \u003cbr\u003e  The dozen chapters in the book present facts and figures as well as  in-depth commentary on social issues which South Africa must address.  The authors discuss the legacies of the past, including poverty and  social inequality; problems of transition ranging from trauma to  crime; and the hopes for the future which lie in economic growth and  development, a deeper understanding of democracy, and a healthy dose  of optimism. \u003cbr\u003e  The book draws on information from a wide variety of sources including  government statistics, independent social surveys, community research,  and opinion polls. This rich data weaves a tapestry of the quality of  life in South Africa for Africa watchers and the general public.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792347972\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-1479-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 306\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359156203660,"sku":"9780792347972","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792347972.jpg?v=1771517046","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792347972","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
