Race Trouble: Race, Identity and Inequality in Post-apartheid South Africa

Front Cover
Lexington Books, 2011 - Psychology - 234 pages
This book draws on the South African experience to develop a theory of race trouble with the central observation that transformation in South Africa has reshaped patterns and practices of encounter and exchange between historically defined race groups. Race continues to feature prominently in these new forms of social interaction and, by participating in them, South Africans are cast once again as racial subjects - advantaged or disadvantaged, included or excluded, colonizers or colonized.
