Description
Book SynopsisAffords a penetrating look at the unexpected results of the expansion of African business opportunities following the demise of apartheid
Trade Review[This] book addresses economic, geographic, political, and historical issues and would make an excellent tool for teaching about contemporary Africa and the social impact of neoliberal reform policies.
* Journal of African History *
The story of post-apartheid South Africa's northward expansion warrants further scholarly attention, and this eminently readable book provides an important national case study on which others will build.
* Journal of Modern African Studies *
This is a skilfully interdisciplinary book. Schroeder burrows deep into political economy, but is equally comfortable interpreting symbolism, such as the masculinist imagery and 'neocolonial chic' . . . of South African investment advertisements. Throughout the book we see keen ethnographic attention to affect, especially the confusion, resentment, and bitterness felt by Tanzanians as the waters of racial inequity rise.
