ABSTRACT
Three social actors are central to the plots that unfold in this book. Through their stories they illustrate the tenacity of politicised ethnicity into post-1994 South Africa. What do the political engagements add to our understanding of ethnicity and political power? Why should it be accepted by a so-called revolutionary liberation movement that some 17 million people in an inclusive democracy should be subject-citizens, both subjected to and subjects under traditional order, and citizens with rights in a republican democracy?
