SOUTH AFRICA PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

FINAL REMINDER

This is a final reminder for those who are interested to register for  
this one day conference, to be held on Saturday 
1st July 2000 at St. Mary's College, Twickenham, UK. The theme 
is taken from a book of the same title which is to be launched on 
the day. The aim is to work towards integrating an historical 
analysis of modern South Africa with a consideration of 
post-apartheid 'development' initiatives. This involves a 
consideration of recent developments in the South African 
historiography, critical approaches to the local application of global 
'development' discourse and practice, and the theoretical 
implications of political transition. 

THE DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT IS 31ST 
MAY.
