Lost in Transformation - South Africa's Search for a New Future Since 1986 (Paperback)

The penetrating insights and compelling arguments presented in this book make it 'a must read' for anyone who wants to unpack the foundations of the "crisis" South Africa is facing today, understand the politics and economics of the country, and find fresh answers. Lost in transformation; South Africa's search for a new future since 1986 traces the evolution of the present day "crisis" facing the country, beginning with the examination of the global political and economic context of the 1980s, focusing particularly on the period 1986-1990 and then goes back the 1650s, tracing political-economic developments up to 2012. Terreblanche unmasks the manoeuvres and backroom strategies of manipulation devised by American and British transnational corporations in collaboration with the former Soviet regime. The book also examines the steps towards the negotiated settlement and the birth of the new democracy in 1994. Terreblanche recounts some of his own personal experiences, exposing matters which ordinary South Africans would never come to know.
