We have received a copy of a paper by veteran South African Marxist Neville Alexander on "Affirmative Action and the Perpetuation of Racial Identities", from Rajni Lallah of Lalit, Mauritius. Rajni writes: "I thought I'd you'd appreciate getting a paper of Neville Alexander on affirmative action and the perpetuation of racial identities in post-apartheid South Africa. Lalit comrades find it excellent and very useful in debate".
