A History of South Africa

Meer over het boek

"Who were the first people of South Africa? And who came after them? How did the interaction among Afrikaners, English-speaking South Africans, the British government and black people help form the country? Where do we stand as a nation today? Some prominent historians try to answer these questions. Led by the well-known Professor Fransjohan Pretorius, they reflect on the origin of planet Earth and look at some pivotal moments in our South African history. Chapters cover, among others, the Dutch era at the Cape, the mineral revolution, the Anglo-Boer War, Afrikaner nationalism, the apartheid government, the black resistance movement and a South Africa after 1994."--Back cover
