Summary: The South African ruling class under the apartheid regime saw itself more as a part of "white Christian civilization" then as a part of Africa and the end of apartheid therefore raises many questions concerning South Africa's role on the continent. Adebajo (Centre for Conflict Resolution, U. of Cape Town, South Africa), Adedeji (African Centre for Development and Strategic Studies, Nigeria), and Landsberg (Centre for Policy Studies, South Africa) present 13 essays assessing the country's engagement in Africa in the decade following apartheid. They address the domestic political economy, the myths and realities of black economic empowerment, issues of race and reconciliation, foreign policy and regional security, continental economic relations, conflict and land reform, and HIV/AIDS. They also provide case studies of relations with Nigeria, Angola, Mozambique, North Africa, and the Great Lakes region. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
