Summary

Andrews and Ellmann (both teach law at the City U. of New York) provide an introduction to the process of developing South Africa's post- apartheid constitutions, the details of which are analyzed in the 19 essays that follow. With the exception of the editors, the contributors are South Africans, most of who were involved in the process of formulating the new constitutions. The essays consider the process of constitution writing, the issues of constitutional rights, and the institutions created by the new constitutions. The volume is co-published with Witwatersrand U. Press in Johannesburg. c. Book News Inc.
