The Next Liberation Struggle
Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy in Southern Africa
by John S. Saul



The Next Liberation Struggle integrates the concrete observations of a seasoned observer and participant in southern African liberation struggles with analysis of and reflection on the large question of the place of southern Africa within the global capitalist order and its capacities to contribute toward remaking that global order. It examines specific national developments in South Africa, Namibia, Mozambique, and Tanzania. At the same time, it shows throughout how the problems of each national context are linked by a common location in the global order, and argues for a collective regional response.

Naomi Klein, THE NATION

“A significant and timely contribution to contemporary South African studies.”—The Midwest Book Review
