(Adam Habib)
It's the
book that has managed to get the country talking about its present and its
future with South Africa’s Suspended
Revolution – Hopes and Prospects, Adam Habib's latest contribution to the
country's popular discourse.
Founding
director of the Centre for Civil Society based in Durban and a research
professor in the School of Development Studies at the University of
KwaZulu-Natal, Habib completed his tertiary education at the University of
KwaZulu-Natal, the University of Witwatersrand and the Graduate School of the
City University of New York. He has held academic appointments at the
Universities of Johannesburg, Durban-Westville and KwaZulu-Natal and the Human
Science Research Council. He served as the Executive Director of the Democracy
and Governance Programme of the Human Science Research Council.
South Africa's Suspended Revolution was the product of a six-month
sabbatical at Oxford University. Habib said the idea was to write a book that
would bridge the gap between the academia and a popular audience.
Not only
has the book garnered enough interest to warrant a second print run, but will
also be published in Afrikaans, seSotho and isiZulu. The translated, abridged
editions are due for release early next year.
