Old Treacheries and New Deceits
Stephen Chan ISBN 9781868424375 Publication date 2011 RRP R 200 In this timely and essential book, Stephen Chan explores the political landscape of southern Africa, examining how it is poised to change and what the repercussions are likely to be across the continent. The author focuses on three countries in particular: South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia, all of which have remained interconnected since the end of colonialism and the overthrow of apartheid. Chan draws on his extensive and intimate experience to provide the definitive inside guide to this complex region and offer an insight on how the near future is likely to be a litmus test not just for this trio of countries but for all of Africa. If there is any book that ‘explains’ the tumultuous recent history of southern Africa, this is surely it: a sweeping overview of an insider’s account, peppered with first-hand experiences and personal know ledge of many of the region’s players. Michael Holman, former Africa editor for the Financial Times |
