TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Public participation and the politics of humiliation JO - International review of sociology (London) A1 - Chetty, Dasarath SP - 250 EP - 259 VL - 28 IS - 2 N2 - The article contends that the most popular form of Public Participation (PP) in SA is public protest, which, as a result of historical continuity, represents a direct response to the humiliations experienced by the poor, unemployed and socially excluded. Despite an enlightened human rights Constitution, if citizens are treated as consumers and left to the vagaries of the market PP mechanisms are likely to fail as they do not address the real social issues at the root of the discontent.
