Publisher's Synopsis
Following his two widely-read volumes of essays, Saul projects his analysis of the economic and social structure of southern Africa in relation to the rest of the world forward into the new millennium. Painstakingly confronting central questions related to the practice of war and peace and to the prospects for democracy and development throughout the continent, Saul emphasises that the problems of Africa are continually shaped by its insertion in the global capitalist system, and suggests that the struggle for socialism must be a part of the solution for contemporary Africa.
