Tracing the expansion of South African business into other areas of Africa in the years after apartheid, Richard A. Schroeder explores why South Africans have not always made themselves welcome guests abroad. By looking at investments in Tanzania, a frontline state in the fight for liberation, Schroeder focuses on the encounter between white South Africans and Tanzanians and the cultural, social, and economic controversies that have emerged as South African firms assume control of local assets. Africa after Apartheid affords a penetrating look at the unexpected results of the expansion of African business opportunities following the demise of apartheid.


Richard A. Schroeder is Associate Professor and Chair of the Geography Department at Rutgers University. He is author of Shady Practices: Gender and Agroforestry Politics in The Gambia, and editor (with Viqdis Broch-Due) of Producing Nature and Poverty in Africa.
