    Self-Concepts of Race in South Africa

    Ryland Fisher is a journalist, former editor of the Cape Times newspaper in Cape Town, South Africa, and now the CEO of Sekunjalo Media Holdings in South Africa. Ryland looks at the concepts of race in the New South Africa (since 1994).

    He does not develop this topic solely out of his own observations, though these usually are presented in the introduction to each chapter's topic. Rather Fisher intends to present an analysis of the people. This volume is Fisher's summation and analysis of interviews with numerous individuals on the street.

    He thus provides us with a range of views from various South African citizens. Ryland looks at the various concepts of race, both overt and subconscious, current in the new South Africa since the abolishing of Apartheid. Fisher analyzes the the role of these concepts of race in topics such as personal and group identity, nationalism, racism in the media.

    He further considers the role of language (and its connotations of ethnicity) in society and politics, and other pertinent topics in a society under "Transformation," the move to regularize and integrate society since the first democratic elections in 1994.
