About This Item
(Cape Town: David Philip, 1991) 0864860722. 234 x 155 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xviii + (ii) + 380, incl. index; tables; graphs; maps; monochrome photographs. Spine sunned. Very good condition. "In South Africa the division between rich and poor is greater than in any other country in the world for which statistics are available. The present book focuses on that divide, and on the poverty endured by so many blacks in a society whose whites have been one of the most affluent groups in the world. Tackling head on the fact that in South Africa 'poverty is a profoundly political issue', the authors of this book argue that without a fundamental redistribution of political power poverty will remain a central feature of the economy. At the same time they believe that much work can be done now that will make a significant difference not only to the lives of those who currently endure poverty but also to the quality of life in the longer term after political change has taken place." .
