Reviews
Elite Transition charts the destruction of progressive economic and social policy aspirations from the end years of apartheid to today as a new elite emerges espousing neo-liberal principles. -- Socialist Review The book is an analysis of the compromises made between the past and present powers in post-apartheid South Africa, and it assesses the extent to which they can lead to meaningful liberation for the masses of South Africans. -- Oxfam Review of Journals Elite Transition successfully highlights some telling events and processes that help us understand why the transition unfolded as it did, and, crucially, why it is not just South Africans who should be deeply concerned at this series of developments. -- International Affairs
