About the Book
In South Africa�s Insurgent Citizens, Julian Brown argues that a new kind of politics can be seen on the streets and in the courtrooms of the country. This politics is made by a new kind of citizen-one that is neither respectful nor passive, but instead insurgent. The collapse of the dream of a consensus politics is not a cause for despair. South Africa�s political order is fractured, and in its cracks new forms of activity, new leaders and new movements are emerging.
