Abstract

The book grapples with a very complex yet contextually relevant subject in South Africa's fledging democracy. The volume deals with both the practical and theoretical aspects of the concept of Ubuntu and how it relates to the country's transition narrative as well as to the broader continental postcolonial emancipatory context. As South Africa navigates its transition and transformation landscape, especially after twenty years of democracy that, many observers argue, have yielded very little economic and political progress, the character and content of this transition remain a central question in development debates. This book will benefit scholars pursuing intellectual and philosophical inquiry as well as practitioners grappling with how to interpret Ubuntu in everyday life. Students studying social sciences and humanities will also benefit enormously from this book.
