Uncertain Promise of Southern Africa

In the 1970s and 1980s Indiana University Press published a series of books edited by Gwendolen Carter and others on economic and political conditions in Southern Africa during the apartheid era. The Uncertain Promise of Southern Africa is a return to that successful format in the post-apartheid era. Leading scholars analyse the economic, political, social, and cultural conditions in Southern Africa and the prospects for the region. The first part of the book examines the current political and development situation in six countries - South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Angola, and Mozambique. The second part of the book focuses on issues of enduring importance in the region - education, health, gender, the law, intra- and inter-regional power relations, international commerce, and popular culture.Bradshaw, York W. is the author of 'Uncertain Promise of Southern Africa', published 2001 under ISBN 9780253214249 and ISBN 0253214246.
