The Next Liberation Struggle:
Capitalism, Socialism,
and Democracy in Southern Africa by John S. Saul
The Next Liberation
Struggle integrates the concrete observations of a seasoned observer and
participant in southern African liberation struggles with analysis of and
reflection on the large question of the place of southern Africa within the
global capitalist order and its capacities to contribute toward remaking that
global order. It examines specific national developments in South Africa,
Namibia, Mozambique, and Tanzania. At the same time, it shows throughout how
the problems of each national context are linked by a common location in the
global order, and argues for a collective regional response.

this grand and bland subject vividly to life.”
— Naomi Klein, THE
NATION
“A significant
and timely contribution to contemporary South African
studies.”—The Midwest Book Review
