The work collected here is drawn from lectures, essays and journalism. Ranging in tone from academic speculation to bare-knuckle polemic, with the occasional gleam of personal reminiscence, they interweave to form a vision of a decade in which the habits of centuries were hurled, by choice, into reverse. Defining the role of the writer in society was no longer an abstract theme to stir debate, but a pressing and dangerous necessity. The world of letters had to confront the urgent need to open up the franchise, hand over the levers and the engines of power: the need to reinvent an entire continent.

In 1917, the USSR became the first society in history to officially emancipate women. But seven decades later, the heroic tolerance of Soviet women—over 90 percent of whom are employed full-time—is showing signs of wear. From her wide experience and travels in Russia, Francine du Plessix Gray brings us the voices of women doctors, professors, intellectuals, dissidents, party workers, journalists, and factory workers who talk about their lives with amazing candour and frequent anger. Despite perestroika, women continue to suffer a startling variety of social injustices.

A Country at War with Itself is a penetrating exploration of South Africa’s crime problem. Getting behind the statistics to offer a sober and sobering account of the scale of the problem and its evolution, it describes how government has sometimes sought to deal with the crisis and sometimes sought to deny its existence. Analysing the weaknesses of the police and criminal justice system, it sets out a programme that would take us from ‘fighting crime’ to ‘fighting criminals’.
