Description
PROMISES AND PERIL: The South African Crisis is part memoir but mainly political analysis, weaving together personal experience with a critical account of the country's ongoing crisis Drawing on influences from luminaries in South Africa and global thinkers such as Frantz Fanon, Ali Shariati and others. Buccus examines how the promise of liberation gave way to corruption, inequality and repression. Ultimately, PROMISES AND PERIL: The South African Crisis is a call to recover the moral clarity of the liberation struggle, to link local struggles with global justice, and to forge a politics that serves the many rather than the few. PROMISES AND PERIL THE SOUTH AFRICAN CRISIS "The book details the rise of the two different competing futures for South Africa: emboldened fascism or grassroots democracy organised around resilient social movements. This is the best contemporary read of South Africa and its politics." Adam Habib "A fascinating and frank exploration of South Africa's political crisis and the delicate hope that still survives within it." Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh
