A broad overview of South Africa's evolving historical geography in the light of the dramatic political, social and economic changes of the 1990's. It covers a broad sweep of the country's development from the pre- to the post-apartheid eras. The authors explain how identifying the links between the country's history and the successes and failings of its current policies are critical in any attempt to comprehend the "new" South Africa. *The first book to address a number of important development and historical issues in an integrated way and in a single volume *Places emphasis on the imposition and enforcement of racial, social and economic inequality during the colonial and apartheid eras, and its implications for a post-apartheid South Africa *Compares and contrasts current strategies with contemporary development thinking and practice both internationally and within the rest of Africa
