Synopsis

Twenty years on from the fall of apartheid in South Africa, veteran analyst and activist John S Saul reexamines the liberation struggle, placing it in a regional and global context and looking at how the initial optimism and hope has given way to a sense of crisis following soaring inequality levels and the massacre of workers at Marikana.

In A Flawed Freedom: Rethinking South African Liberation, Saul examines the grim reality of southern Africa's contemporary post-'liberation' plight, drawing on the insights of Frantz Fanon and Amilcar Cabral.

Saul examines the ongoing 'rebellion of the poor', including the recent Marikana massacre, that have begun to undermine the ANC's inherited hegemony and signal the possibility of a new and more hopeful future.
