Titus Alexander,
Unravelling Global Apartheid
Cambridge, UK: Polity Press, 1996. 302 pages
ISBN 0-7456-1353-5 (paperback)
This is the most comprehensive analysis to date of the world system through
the lenses of the concept of "global apartheid". Similarities and
differences between (pre-Mandela) South African apartheid and the world
system are clearly laid out. Historical, political, economic and
cultural-ideological dimensions are discussed. The book is nicely leftist,
modern, global and very well done, but is likely not of interest to old-line
Marxists.
On the issue of "race": "the concept of race is rejected in this book" (p. x)
