About this title

Synopsis

Bringing together 12 ethnographic studies of post-apartheid South Africa, this reference focuses on the emergence of new South African identities with both strong, local characteristics and powerful, global influences. It shows how, in different ways—through adoption, adaptation, avoidance, and resistance—South Africans are responding to the forces and connections of globalization.
