Book Description

This study by a sociologist provides the most rigorous and comprehensive review of South African society to appear to date. At a time when the nations of the world are devoting increasing attention to the problems of South Africa and when South Africans are recognising the need to make adjustments to their way of life, this book presents a timely and provocative guide to the significant features of the society. Throughout his work Lever presents a detached and critical view of a troubled and complex society, while at the same time showing a genuine concern for the fate of South Africa and its people.
