This book is a rich, multi-layered tapestry of sociological insight into our transition to democracy. Although titled The Mandela Decade, it is not a simple account of what happened during that pivotal decade, nor only what Mandela's personal legacy was - but a more complex account of different dimensions of social themes that undergird that period of transition to democracy. Particular attention is paid to the province of KZN, from where Sitas hails, and this gives some of the chapters added depth and complexity.
