Description and Table of Contents

Description

This text provides an up-to-date introduction to the key themes and debates central to an understanding of South Africa. The book examines the major issues in South Africa's history, 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 and, in this new edition, the first democratic elections in April 1994. With the break up of institutional apartheid, perspectives on recent South African history have undergone a significant shift. The author examines these changes and assesses developments within the new South Africa in a wide historical context, providing an overview for all those interested in modern South African history and politics.
