The book titled "Xenophobic attacks and the Nigeria - South Africa Relation " is a research at the University of Lagos, Nigeria. It was projected that the post - apartheid South Africa would usher in a new state free of racial segregation. But what ensued post - apartheid South Africa was the constriction and prejudice against foreigners particularly black Africans living in South Africa. This book brings to the fore the core issues of racial intolerance and dislike for black foreigners; particularly Nigerians living in South - Africa. This book also examines the problematic of Xenophobic attacks; the Formation, composition, crisis and immanent contradictions of post - Apartheid South Africa and its impact on the Nigeria - South Africa Relation.
