Bonus: Carolyn E. Holmes reviews "The Inheritors" and "Until We Have Won Our Liberty"
Carolyn E. Holmes writes for The Monkey Cage about two books that take different roads to understand South Africa:The Inheritors: An Intimate Portrait of South Africa’s Racial Awakening by Eve Fairbanks and Until We Have Won Our Liberty: South Africa after Apartheid by Evan Lieberman.
"It is not that Fairbanks’s account of the New South Africa is pessimistic while Lieberman’s is optimistic," writes Holmes. "Rather, Fairbanks understands the transition away from apartheid as a continuation of, rather than merely a break from, the past. And this is perhaps where the subtitles of each of these books can illuminate their difference."
