Product Description Tracy Kuperus focuses on the interaction of dominant groups within the Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk and the South African state over the development of race policy (1934-96) within the broader context of state-civil society relations. Additionally, this particular case study demonstrates that civil society's existence in an authoritarian situation can deter the establishment of democracy in the event that components of civil society identify themselves with exclusive, ethnic interests. | ||

Kudos for Kuperus Unlike many in academia, this author takes the role of religion seriously in evaluating politics and society. When this expertise is brought to the history and current events in South Africa, the result is wonderful and enlightening. A must buy for those interested in South Africa!! | ||
