About the Author

South African Education Democracy Trust (SADET) was established after the South African President, Thabo Mbeki expressed concern about the paucity of historical material on South Africa's road to democracy. SADET drew together scholars from a variety of countries, with an emphasis on nationals from the countries under study, and/or major actors in international organisations, governmental agencies or solidarity movements being reviewed here. Dr Gregory Houston is both a highly regarded researcher and SADET's Executive Director.
