The Opening of the apartheid mind: Options for the New South Africa

---

Revealing the complex political forces involved in disman- thing apartheid, Adam and Moodley argue that although the African National Congress will join the government it may be forced to govern without real constitutional, eco- nomie, or military power. They view a political settlement as a necessary but insufficient condition for reversing the social disintegration and economie decline that is the lega cy of apartheid. The authors believe that the current transition is widely misunderstood. By demystifying popular leaders, they expose the hidden constraints under which they must act. The authors also explore in depth such controversial top- ies as the alliance of the ANC with the South African Communist Party, the legacy of black consciousness, Inkatha and political violence, and the white secessionist movement. In their earlier books Adam and Moodley countered the conventional wisdom of the time, claiming in 1971 that the apartheid state would modernize its policy of racial domination and in 1986 that the National Party and African National Congress would negotiate. Both claims have proven true. In The Opening of the Apartheid Mind Adam and Moodley sketch options both for a new South Africa and for a new post-cold war foreign policy toward the whole of southern Africa. Despite their tough realism, Adam and Moodley are optimistic that the African leaders have learned the lessons of coexistence. But whether the negotiated revolution will result in a genuine democracy or multiracial domination remains to be seen.
