Katherine S. Newman is the James Knapp Dean of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and professor of sociology at Johns Hopkins University. She is the author of twelve books on poverty, the working poor, and the consequences of inequality, including The Accordion Family and The Missing Class. She lives in Baltimore, Maryland. Ariane De Lannoy is a senior researcher at the Children's Institute and lecturer in the Sociology Department of the University of Cape Town. Her research focuses on youth transitions to adulthood in South Africa, and she has published on young adults' educational decision making, youth belonging and citizenship, and youth violence in a context of poverty. She lives in Cape Town.
Anyone interested in the progress of the 'new' South Africa 20 years into its multiracial democracy need look no further than After Freedom --a powerful, well-researched, and thoroughly readable book. Newman and De Lannoy include hard demographic and economic data but it is their sustained and deeply personal interviews which prove both fascinating and discomforting. As in all democracies, including the United States, the pace of change is maddeningly slow for all too many. --Charlayne Hunter-Gault, journalist and author of New News Out of Africa
