摘要

Cassandra would have been stumped by South Africa. How easy it was, in the long, dark days of apartheid, to predict catastrophe, only to be assured by South African boosters that all was well, and by apologists abroad that constructive engagement would in time make all well. The voices of complacency were wrong. Yet so too were those that foretold a bloodbath. Of all the horrors of the 20th century, South Africa's was unique: it did not happen. Against that achievement, any subsequent shortcomings of the country's new rulers should perhaps be judged tolerantly.
