L’Afrique du Sud évoque principalement pour le public français les Zoulous, l’or, le diamant, Nelson Mandela et surtout les lois de ségrégation raciale qui portaient le nom lugubre d’apartheid, mises en place au milieu du XXe siècle. Une étude géopolitique de l’Afrique du Sud, vingt ans après les premières élections démocratiques, s’impose. La puissance économique de l’Afrique du Sud (elle assure 1/5e du PIB du continent), ses réserves en minerais et en métaux précieux, lui confèrent une place particulière dans la vie internationale. Ce pays a également une ambition militaire et politique en participant à de nombreuses opérations de maintien de la paix en Afrique. Il est par ailleurs une démocratie, dans laquelle la presse bénéficie d’une réelle liberté, les syndicats ont des droits reconnus et les scrutins électoraux qui se tiennent aux échéances prévues ne sont pas entachés de fraude. Mais cette réussite pourrait n’être qu’une parenthèse, car elle reste très fragile et la pérennité des institutions démocratiques n’est guère assurée. Cet ouvrage présente l’Afrique du Sud du XXIe siècle, avec les atouts et les faiblesses d’une nation en construction.

Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) is the most influential sociologist of our time. His works take in education, culture, sport, literature, painting, class, philosophy, religion, law, media, intellectuals, methodology, photography, universities, colonialism, kinship, schooling and politics. Not much remains outside Bourdieu's sociological eye. His works are widely read across disciplines and he was one of the most prominent public intellectuals in France. Conversations with Bourdieu presents the first comprehensive attempt at a critical engagement with Bourdieu's theory as a totality. Michael Burawoy constructs a series of imaginary conversations between Bourdieu and his nemesis - Marxism - from which he silently borrowed so much. Starting with Marx, and proceeding through Gramsci, Fanon, Freire, de Beauvoir, and Mills, Burawoy takes up the challenge Bourdieu presents to Marxism, simultaneously developing a critique of Bourdieu and a reconstruction of Marxism. Karl Von Holdt, in turn, brings these conversations to South Africa, showing the relevance of Bourdieu's ideas to a country he never visited. Armed with Bourdieu, Von Holdt takes up some of the most pressing social and political issues of contemporary South Africa: the relation between symbolic and real violence, the place of intellectuals in public life, the intervention of gender in politics, the grappling with race, the critique of education, the importance of habitus, the history and future of class mobilisation, and the legacy of the liberation struggle. Conversations with Bourdieu pioneers a distinctive approach to doing social theory that is neither a combat sport nor an artificial synthesis, but a way of pushing theory to its limits through dialogue - dialogue between theorists and dialogue between theory and the world it represents. The book is distinctive too in pointing towards a new global sociology consciously rooted in a dialogue between the social realities and theoretical perspectives of North and South. The conversations were first presented as Mellon Lectures at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in 2010

In his wide-ranging, incisive and provocative analysis, Hein Marais shows that although the legacies of apartheid and colonialism weigh heavy, many of the strategic choices made since the early 1990's have compounded those handicaps. Marais explains why those choices were made, where they went awry, and why South Africa's vaunted formations of the left have failed to prevent or alter them. SA Pushed to the Limit presents a riveting benchmark analysis of the incomplete journey beyond apartheid.

The first book to explore the complex relationship between law and literature in testimony to crimes of apartheid before South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, 'Ambiguities of Witnessing' closely analyzes key individual testimonies. Whereas most existing books on this and other truth commissions are weighed down by abstract legal and philosophical discussion, this book does justice to witnesses' public testimony in a fascinating and theoretically sophisticated investigation of questions of human rights, mourning, forgiveness, and reparation. Framed by the personal, 'Ambiguities of Witnessing' also meditates on what it means for the writer to respond to this epochal event in the history of post-apartheid South Africa.
