Many common political arguments come pre-packaged in a very old and dusty box - and in this book, Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh sets out to dismantle that box. The self-evident truths are not so inarguable. He argues that free education is far from impossible, land reform is not the first step to chaos, and the media is not free… In this incisive, informed book we find challenges to commonly held opinions and new solutions to old problems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46841331155196,"sku":"10","price":320.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/3916\/8252\/files\/Book_Democracy-Delusion_01.jpg?v=1737540508"},{"product_id":"the-new-apartheid","title":"The New Apartheid","description":"\u003cp\u003eSouth Africa’s story is often presented as a triumph of new over old, but while formal apartheid was abolished decades ago, stark and distressing similarities persist. Dr Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh explores the edifice of systemic racial oppression — the new apartheid — that continues to thrive, despite or even because of our democratic system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new apartheid is a privatised, decentralised, self-replicating vestige of the apartheid state. For the people of South Africa, it means poverty or paradise, separated by an inch of glass and a line of code. Mpofu-Walsh names our malaise by tracing its impact on our use of space, law, wealth, technology and punishment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe New Apartheid is both a razor-sharp survey of the South African crisis and a call for far-reaching change. Unless we understand the new apartheid, we cannot start the urgent task of dismantling it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46841331220732,"sku":"20","price":320.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/3916\/8252\/files\/Book_The-New-Apartheid_Mockup_01.jpg?v=1737540418"}],"url":"https:\/\/smwx.store\/collections\/books.oembed","provider":"SMWX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
