A penetrating overview of South Africa's past and present.
This book is intended as a comprehensive single volume survey of one of today's most popular and exciting destinations. Lifting the lid on this most multicultural of societies - and its chequered past - the book begins by tracing the evolution of South Africa from prehistoric times, taking into account the most recent archaeological findings.
The penetration of the region by European explorers and traders is charted; the political, social and economic events that followed on from this; and finally, the complicated descent into state repression of the majority black population after the Second World War.
The book also includes practical information for the visitor, as well as a full compendium of historical facts and data.
