OverviewAt the time of his death in August 2012, Neville Alexander was undoubtedly one of South Africa's foremost proponents of the philosophy of non-racialism. He devoted his life to fighting against the evils of racism, sexism and economic injustice. He understood how these social realities not only divided but also ranked human beings in terms of human worth and value. He saw how these realities diminished the whole society, both the perpetrators and victims. And so he gave over his life as a scholar and a political activist to challenge these realities.
