This article covers one facet or dimension, internationally, of segregation or apartheid in South Africa. In this article, the authors discussed the concept of black economic empowerment (BEE) transactions that have been occurring after the abolition of apartheid in the country. The authors monitor the economic transitions that happened as a result of these economic transactions, and the implications of these measures to the society and the South African natives, specifically. Though quantitative in its coverage and discussion, the article was helpful in generating the finding that BEE transactions are considered vital for a business or company to enter and succeed in the South African market, while at the same time reinforcing once again the "black" identity of the country -- a reinstatement of black African culture and society in the post-apartheid South Africa. In effect, the article touches an important international dimension to apartheid -- how, in the 21st century, South Africa has evolved and returned to its original identity as a 'black man's society, politically and economically.

This article centers on the issue of violence that are still occurring as South Africa approaches a transition between apartheid and post-apartheid practices. The "economical geography of apartheid" that the author noted in the article was his own way of conceptualizing the gender conflict that happened between males and females as each tried to make sense of the newly-acquired independence that the black society had during the post-apartheid period. What emerged from this conflict is the finding that compared to pre-apartheid period, people have become more accepting of female assertiveness as well. In effect, "hotel politics" as described by Elder in the article showed a growing receptiveness to female and male power in the country (i.e., heteromasculinity power in social politics).
