Description
Between the 19th and mid-20th centuries, South Africa was transformed from a region with a variety of pre-industrial economies and societies into a unified State characterised by an advanced industrial economy, racial segregation and huge inequalities of wealth. This book examines the making of modern South Africa. Thematic chapters discuss the emergence and consolidation of white political hegemony, changes on the land, urbanization and town culture, racism, segregation and apartheid, and patterns of resistance. The final chapter explores the nature of state "reformism" after the 1976 Soweto uprising.

Description
In the past 15 years, the writing of South African history has undergone dramatic changes of focus. Nigel Worden's book provides an introduction to the key issues and debates in this recent research. Many traditional views on such prominent topics as the nature of Afrikaner and African nationalism and the emergence of apartheid have been overturned, and new areas of study have appeared, such as changes in rural societies and township culture. This study surveys these issues, from the colonial conquests of the 18th and 19th centuries, through the establishment of racism, segregation and apartheid, to the spirit of reform, resistance and repression of the 1980s. The book concludes by examining the reasons for the De Klerk reforms of the 1990s, and by questioning how far apartheid is currently in real decline. In addition to providing an introduction and guide to new work, the book also includes a detailed chronology of the period, suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter and a full bibliography. It should prove useful for both students and teachers of modern South African history and politics.
