"Twenty years after the end of apartheid, race still continues to play a role in South African society. Ironically, in a society that is constitutionally committed to non-racialism, race thinking and race classification have been carried forward unthinkingly from our past. Not only does the rationale for such continuation not address the real concerns of our society but the system of classifying carries inevitable seeds of conflict within itself. What is more, the classification of fellow human beings into races remains a crime against humanity, no matter what justification is offered. In this powerfully argued book, Gerhard Maré takes up the challenge to imagine a world beyond the boundaries created by race." -- Back cover.
