About this book
Reviews
—Padraig Carmody, Associate Professor in Geography at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, and Senior Research Associate at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa​
‘This fascinating study utilizes the work of Henri Lefebvre on space to contextualize and understand state formation in the case of South Africa. This book refreshingly engages both the internal and external processes integral to the formation of the South African state over time, and provides an incisive analysis of the embedded neoliberal state.’
—Brent Steele, Professor and Francis D. Wormuth Presidential Chair, Political Science Department, University of Utah, USA
