摘要：The authors of this book – J.C. van der Merwe and Dionne van Reenen – both work for the Institute for Reconciliationand Social Justice at the University of the Free State, in Bloemfontein, South Africa. It was at this university that theinfamous ‘Reitz incident’ occurred in 2008, in which a group of university students enlisted the participation of agroup of black, mainly female, workers, in a video which mocked the workers without them realising it immediately,and which mocked the idea of racial integration. One would assume that the authors of this book would be highlyinvested in the prevention of such crudely racist acts at this university, and in the country – the book shouldcontribute towards an understanding of how to create the kind of milieu in which racism does not occur. So doesthis book succeed in this task?.
