South Africa in Transition - Introduction
Voting in Fear
Despite the continued, unfortunate salience of violence as a feature of African elections, there has been a glaring absence of academic material that specifically focuses on electoral violence in t
Fragments of the Past
During South Africa's constitutional negotiations in the 1990s, it was assumed that the self-governing ‘homelands’ would inevitably be re-incorporated into a new South Africa, whatever that may be. Despite being denigrated by the liberation movements throughout their existence, some homelands would become aligned to the African National Congress (ANC) at apartheid's close: the Transkei, led by General Bantu Holomisa, became a particular base of s…

Practical Reasonableness, Theory, and the Science of Self-Understanding
The practical nature of all human understanding lies at the heart of Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics, yet the stress he places on practicality and his appeal to Aristotle remain relatively neglected by the secondary literature. This neglect is due in part to a failure to see the great extent to which Gadamer relies on the Aristotelian concept of phronēsis (practical wisdom) and, to a lesser extent, on the Hegelian concept of the concrete uni…
