"This anthology had a predecessor called Encounters, first published in 1998 ... This new anthology, Recognition, ... differs significantly from the 1998 collection in that it includes a much more substantial selection from the post-1994 period: almost half the stories now deal either with the political transition or with aspects of post-apartheid society."--Page [1].
