Abstract
Six years after the end of apartheid there have been many changes, but little change in South Africa. Poverty and inequality seem to be increasing rather than decreasing. How were the dreams of freedom and social and economic equality so quickly dashed? Much of the answer can be found in South Africa's integration into globalized capitalism, yet pointing an accusatory finger at the IMF or the "West" does not allow us to consider the contested terrains of homegrown South African politics. In this essay I investigate the limitations of post-apartheid South Africa within the narrow confines of the anti-apartheid movement, particularly the absence of debate about alternative humanist futures. This methodological insight is suggested in Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth .
