Nation Formation and Social Cohesion: An Enquiry into the Hopes and Aspirations of South Africans

The fieldwork and case studies contained in this book were gathered from one-on-one interviews with residents of four of South Africa’s nine provinces (Western Cape, Northern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, and Gauteng). To those living beyond the country’s borders, it provides insights into their daily lives and details the problems, frustrations, and hopes of residents of some of the country’s most conflicted areas.
