“This is an excellent book: it is easy to read and provides a deep analysis of apartheid and its consequences by homing in on one particular kind of institutionIt provides a means to self-examination for both black and white readers which is so much needed in South African writing now…A work which is among the best recent South African publications.” * Journal of Southern African Studies *
