Abstract

The South African Human Sciences Research Council's report on Citizenship, Violence and Xenophobia in South Africa (HSRC, June 2008) makes some disturbing recommendations to government on how to prevent a recurrence of the so-called 'xenophobic' violence that wracked the country in May, leaving 60 people dead and many thousands displaced and destitute.
