This book gives a frank report on contemporary South African society and the challenges which the new nation faces. Sixteen social scientists, experts in fields as wide-ranging as economics, politics, and development planning, have compiled a social report on South Africa two years into democracy. \u003cbr\u003e The volume covers critical concerns which impact on the well-being of the average South African. \u003cbr\u003e The dozen chapters in the book present facts and figures as well as in-depth commentary on social issues which South Africa must address. The authors discuss the legacies of the past, including poverty and social inequality; problems of transition ranging from trauma to crime; and the hopes for the future which lie in economic growth and development, a deeper understanding of democracy, and a healthy dose of optimism. \u003cbr\u003e The book draws on information from a wide variety of sources including government statistics, independent social surveys, community research, and opinion polls. This rich data weaves a tapestry of the quality of life in South Africa for Africa watchers and the general public.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valerie Møller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9401071624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789401071628\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.66d","brand":"Valerie Møller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930979975423,"sku":"9789401071628","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8597f0dc-ce2c-47ec-8d1c-980b777ffc56.jpg?v=1766345617","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quality-of-life-in-south-valerie-mzuller-9789401071628","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
