Diversity in South Africa By Alan Richter, Heather Price On February 11, 1990 when Nelson Mandela was released from prison on his long walk, not only to his freedom, but to the liberation of South Africa, diversity in that country became a new strategic lever, totally opposite to its past abuse. South Africa moved from "divide and rule," treating diversity as a liability, to regarding diversity as an asset with the goal of real unity and strength.

Fatima Mernissi thus describes the social configuration of men and women in the Middle East, in the late 1960s, in her book, Beyond the Veil (Schenkman, 1975). Her theory may be helpful to Westerners struggling to understand why women are obligated to veil their entire bodies in Middle Eastern countries, like Saudi Arabia, where tradition is honored. Instead of presenting women as powerless, Mernissi affirms they possess a "negative will to power" that may hurt a man, his family, and the larger community. This natural power of a woman may easily cause fitna or disorder. The chadour, the head-to-toe shroud that a woman is compelled to wear in public, thus neutralizes this "negative will" which, among other things, gives women a "hearty appetite for suffering and surrender." Because of this "negative power," a woman's place is in her home.
