Description

A comprehensive history of South Africa from its earliest human inhabitants to the present day. This updated edition brings the story up to date with a new chapter covering the first presidential term of Mbeki and ending with the funeral of Nelson Mandela. The author's approach is notable for its objectivity, focusing on the experiences of southern Africa's black inhabitants rather than its white minority. As a result, this work has received praise from scholars and activists alike for its reliability and usefulness in understanding the historical patterns that underpin the country's struggles. A valuable resource for anyone seeking to comprehend the complexities of South African history, this book is also an essential tool for student research.
