Book: The Inheritors: An Intimate Portrait of South Africa’s Racial ReckoningsAuthor: Eve FairbanksReview by: Cedric Suzman, retired director of programming at the World Affairs Council of AtlantaAs a former South African, I have read few books about the country’s current-day situation, but The Inheritors offers a fascinating and I think accurate portrayal of South Africa’s problems after Mandela. The book is set in about 2010 and illustrates the problems faced by the “new” South Africa.
