The introductory chapter of the book provides a comprehensive overview of South African society. Subsequent chapters present a more detailed analysis of such topics as population, voting behaviour, ethnic attitudes, opinions of Blacks and Whites, poverty, crime and apartheid. The book also includes important chapters on sociological theory, the constitution and laws of South Africa and a final chapter explores some alternative geo-political solutions to the policy of Separate Development. Throughout his work Lever presents a detached and critical view of a troubled and complex society, while at the same time showing a genuine concern for the fate of South Africa and its people." .
