Two unmistakable features describe post-Apartheid politics. The first is the formal framework of liberal democracy, including regular elections, multiple political parties, and a range of progressive social rights. The second is the politics of the 'extraordinary', which include a political discourse that relies on threats and the use of violence, the crude re-racialization of numerous conflicts, and protests over various popular grievances. In South Africa: Beyond Apartheid and Liberal Democracy, Thiven Reddy shows how conventional approached to understanding democratization have failed to capture the complexities of South Africa's post-Apartheid transition. Rather, as a product of imperial expansion, the South African state, capitalism and citizen identities have been uniquely shaped by a particular mode of domination, namely 'settler colonialism'. An important work that sheds light on the nature of modernity, democracy and the complex politics of contemporary South Africa.
