It explores the rise of protests and xenophobic attacks in the country, tracing them back to the process of democratization and racial inclusion. The book reveals a society divided by wealth, urban geography, nationality, employment, and political views and warns of the threat that capitalism and elite class struggles present to social movements and racial justice everywhere. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 February 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with activists, \u003cbr\u003eFractured Militancy  tells the story of postapartheid South Africa from the perspective of Johannesburg's impoverished urban Black neighborhoods.  Nearly three decades after South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy, widespread protests and xenophobic attacks suggest that not all is well in the once-celebrated rainbow nation. \u003cbr\u003eMarcel Paret traces rising protests back to the process of democratization and racial inclusion. This process dangled the possibility of change but preserved racial inequality and economic insecurity, prompting residents to use militant protests to express their deep sense of betrayal and to demand recognition and community development. Underscoring remarkable parallels to movements such as Black Lives Matter in the United States, this account attests to an ongoing struggle for Black liberation in the wake of formal racial inclusion. \u003cbr\u003eRather than unified resistance, however, class struggles within the process of racial inclusion produced a fractured militancy. Revealing the complicated truth behind the celebrated success of South African democratization, Paret uncovers a society divided by wealth, urban geography, nationality, employment, and political views. \u003cbr\u003eFractured Militancy  warns of the threat that capitalism and elite class struggles present to social movements and racial justice everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781501761799\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marcel Paret","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095749193978,"sku":"9781501761799","price":22.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1671191125071_book.jpg?v=1671359181","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/fractured-militancy-precarious-resistance-in-south-africa-after-racial-inclusion-9781501761799","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
