Univ. of California Pr. 1986. 315p. bibliog. ISBN 0-520-05769-4. $18.95. pol sci Writing here with his wife, a South African Indian sociologist, Adam remains at the forefront of controversial but incisive scholarship on South Africa. His Modernizing Racial Domination (1971) contradicted established "truths," but 15 years later seems amazingly astute. This new and very current book, also grounded in a pragmatic, realistic analysis, will not please many internationalists, as its view of what it would take to dismantle the system of racial domination shoots down more simplistic notions. The authors are more optimistic about accommodation than most, but only if the various actors are realistic in their goals and methods. Not suited to newcomers to this subject, this analysis should provoke thought and debate among scholars. Highly recommended for academic libraries.
