About This Item
(Cape Town: Zebra Press, 2006) 1868729036. 230 x 150 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xxii + 330, incl. index. As new. "Politics in South Africa is alive and vibrant, although the media often fail to reflect this. Anatomy of South Africa brings that political world to life. It presents a vivid, up-to-date picture of how power operates in the new South Africa and who really makes the decisions around here. It is people who make politics, and this book is about personalities as well as the institutions they belong to. Richard Calland takes the reader along the corridors of power - from the presidency and the cabinet to the judges and the media, via the labyrinth of the ANC-led alliance - mixing vivid anecdote with solid research. The result is an accessible yet authoritative account of who runs South Africa, and how. The title is borrowed from Anthony Sampson's influential work about who ran Britain, Anatomy of Britain. Like Sampson before him, Calland has a fly-on-the-wall, insider's approach to the people who control the power that affects us all." .
