Canadian Federalism
Global model or global failure? That is the Canadian question. Canadian federalism seems to be a successful compromise between today's opposing forces: capitalism and socialism, centralism and localism, globalism and sovereignty, pluralism and ethnocentrism. The UN ranks Canada at the top of its development index. Yet the close result of the 1995 referendum in Quebec has raised once again the question of the possible break-up of Canada. The US Co…
New World Disorder
The ironic contradictions of New World Order have become too obvious to be ignored. Serbian snipers and Somalian warlords patrol the shifting boundaries of post-imperial disorder. The post-modern project turns out to have pre-modern problems. So much so that for some observers, like Robert Kaplan, the end of the world is near. West African airports become gloomy metaphors of doom. But Johannesburg airport is open for business, and perhaps the lat…
Quebechers, Mohawks and Zulus
All over the world, from Europe to Canada, from South Africa to Tibet, the complacent post-war consensus of liberal-Marxist cosmopolitanism is facing heretical challenges to Enlightenment assumptions of abstract universalism. Old realities of group and place are just not going away. In Europe, Maastricht mega-statism is on the rocks, while in North America, NAFTA news about joining Mexico is about as popular as joining East Germany. Canada is try…
Quebec, Apartheid, Lithuania and Tibet
There are millions of Quebeckers and millions of Zulus. But be careful when you talk about that. Do not use the “E word” in South Africa. But do not fail to use it in Canada. And do not talk about group rights in South Africa. But do not fail to talk about them in Quebec. Like alpinists who climb Mount Everest because “it is there,” the ANC routinely dismisses Inkatha (the Zulu movement) on the apparently self-evident grounds that “it is ethnic.”…

“Most Painful to Our Hearts”
RÉSUMÉNotre analyse de la réalité sud-africaine s'est considérablement enrichie ces dernières années grâce à l'apport d'une approche nouvelle qui privilégie les rapports de classes aux dépens des relations entre races, et qui examine les liens fondamentaux entre le développement du capitalisme et la domination raciale dans l'histoire de l'Afrique du Sud. C'est dans cette perspective marxiste que l'histoire sud-africaine vient d'être ré-écrite. Le…
State Terror in South Africa
Among modern states, South Africa is and has been one of the most repressive. This has been most noticeable in the Sharpeville killings in 1960 and the more recent Soweto massacre. State repression is also implicated in the deaths, while in detention, of Steve Biko and of the white activist Neil Agget, as well as in continuing arrests, detentions, bannings, torture and executions. As in most other cases of state repression, such direct terrorism …

Corporate Power in an African State
Race, Conflict and the International Order
The Labour History of the Witwatersrand in the Context of South African Studies, and with Reflections on the New School∗∗
In recent years South African studies have been radically transformed by a new school of work. The essential thrust of this new Marxist school has been to reconceptualise, retheorise and reanalyse the relationship between the economic system and the racial system in South Africa. The traditional liberal school has failed to see the ways and the extent to which important forms of racial domination have actually been integral and functional compone…
