| Abstract: | Freedom, justice, citizenship - what do they mean in South Africa today? ln striving for them, have historical inequalities been recognised? Have political changes over the last 20 years translated into economic redistribution? South African society is moving from a 'society of control' to a 'society of consumption'. This shift has been the main post-apartheid event and has exacerbated the old contradiction between the 'rule of the people' and the 'rule of property'. Examining a wide range of issues, from economic policy, land reform, gender politics and healthcare access to trade union mobilisation, heritage discourses, rights debates, citizen participation and migration policies, this collective volume shows that social change in South Africa should not be understood as either a catastrophic failure or an overwhelming success.
