Author Philippe-Joseph Salazar examines the rhetorical transformation of South Africa from a nation divided by apartheid to a nation united in diversity. The remarkable case of South Africa raises fundamental themes of public deliberation and the rise of postmodern rhetorical democracy. Salazar's intimate vantage point focuses on the striking case of a democracy won at the negotiating table and also won every day in public deliberation."."
