Routledge Journals is proud to announce the first issue of Safundi: The Journal of South African and American Studies to be published in print and online by Routledge.

Safundi: The Journal of South African and American Studies

Safundi -- "S" represents "South Africa," "a" stands for "America," and "fundi" comes from the Xhosa verb, "-funda," which translates as "to read/learn."

Safundi is an online community of scholars, professionals, and others interested in comparing and contrasting the United States of America with the Republic of South Africa.

Our journal, Safundi: The Journal of South African and American Studies, is the centerpiece of our online community. We believe that analyzing the two countries in a comparative and transnational context enhances our perspective on each, individually. While new comparative research is the focus of the journal, we also publish articles specifically addressing one country, provided the articles are of interest to the comparative scholar. Furthermore, our subject matter is as permeable as any country's border: we will consider research addressing other colonial and postcolonial states in Southern Africa and North America.

Articles that Safundi publishes are academic in nature. Research papers are reviewed as they are submitted. Scholarly essays are welcomed. Any topic may be addressed. We hope to provide our readers with a diverse and insightful collection of articles in each issue.

We publish on a quarterly basis. Our journal is peer-reviewed. Submissions are vetted by the editors-in-chief and the editorial board before they are accepted for publication.

The views expressed in the articles are those of the authors and not of the editors or of Safundi itself.

Getting Equality to Work: The South African Employment Equity Act

By Eric Cédiey
Employment demographics in South Africa still show deep racial inequalities inherited from apartheid. The Employment Equity Act of 1998 aims at correcting such a situation, via the legal prohibition of unfair discriminatory practices and the monitoring of affirmative action measures in organizations. Some of the points negotiated during the making of the law may epitomize the compromises punctuating the South African political economic "transformation."

Sortir de l’Apartheid au Travail: La Loi Sud-Africaine d’Équité dans l’Emploi

By Eric Cédiey
La démographie de l’emploi en Afrique du Sud est toujours structurée par de profondes inégalités raciales héritées de l’apartheid. La loi d’équité dans l’emploi de 1998 veut remédier à cette situation en prohibant les pratiques de discrimination inique et en organisant la mise en œuvre de mesures d’affirmative action. Cette législation fournit un bel exemple du type de compromis qui jalonnent la transformation de l’économie politique sud-africaine, entre le marché et la nation.
