Book Synopsis A Short History of South Africa by : Gail Nattrass
Download or read book A Short History of South Africa written by Gail Nattrass and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa is popularly perceived as the most influential nation in Africa – a gateway to an entire continent for finance, trade and politics, and a crucial mediator in its neighbours' affairs. On the other hand, post-Apartheid dreams of progress and reform have, in part, collapsed into a morass of corruption, unemployment and criminal violence. A Short History of South Africa is a brief, general account of the history of this most complicated and fascinating country – from the first evidence of hominid existence to the wars of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries that led to the establishment of modern South Africa, the horrors of Apartheid and the optimism following its collapse, as well as the prospects and challenges for the future. This readable and thorough account, illustrated with maps and photographs, is the culmination of a lifetime of researching and teaching the broad spectrum of South African history. Nattrass's passion for her subject shines through, whether she is elucidating the reader on early humans in the cradle of humankind, or describing the tumultuous twentieth-century processes that shaped the democracy that is South Africa today.

Book Synopsis All Rise: Resistance, Rebellion and Revolt in South Africa by : Rich Conyngham
Download or read book All Rise: Resistance, Rebellion and Revolt in South Africa written by Rich Conyngham and published by Catalyst Press. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All Rise: Resistance and Rebellion in South Africa revives six true stories of resistance by marginalized South Africans against the country's colonial government in the years leading up to Apartheid. In six parts--each of which is illustrated by a different South African artist--All Rise shares the long-forgotten struggles of ordinary, working-class women and men who defended the disempowered during a tumultuous period in South African history. From immigrants and miners to tram workers and washerwomen, the everyday people in these stories bore the brunt of oppression and in some cases risked their lives to bring about positive change for future generations. This graphic anthology breathes new life into a history dominated by icons, and promises to inspire all readers to become everyday activists and allies. The diverse creative team behind All Rise, from an array of races, genders, and backgrounds, is a testament to the multicultural South Africa dreamed of by the heroes in these stories--true stories of grit, compassion, and hope, now being told for the first time in print.

Download or read book Good Hope written by Martine Gosselink and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jan van Riebeecks arrival in Cape Town was the beginning of all South Africas problems: these words were spoken in 2015 by Jacob Zuma, the president of South Africa. Soon afterwards, a spate of iconoclastic attacks took place on statues of Van Riebeeck, Paul Kruger and Boer heroes. Only now, it seems, more than two decades after the abolition of apartheid, is South-Africa fully severing its colonial umbilical cord. The time has clearly come to look afresh at the historical links between the Netherlands and South Africa, a country whose born-frees the generation born in the post-apartheid era are just as likely to be critical of Nelson Mandelas liberation party the ANC as they are of their former colonial rulers. Good Hope explores what took place between 1652, when Van Riebeeck landed at the Cape, and Mandelas visit to Amsterdam in 1990. The arrival of the Dutch in South Africa cast its original inhabitants adrift. The VOC introduced slavery to the Cape and brought Islam when it banished disaffected Muslims there from Asian colonies such Java and Makassar. Borders shifted and whole populations moved away, disintegrated or assimilated into other groups. South Africa has also changed the Netherlands, as witnessed by the blossoming of Amsterdams diamond industry, the many streets across the country named after Afrikaner heroes, and the fierce anti-apartheid struggle. Martine Gosselink, head of the Rijksmuseum History Department, conceived Good Hope and curated the exhibition with Maria Holtrop, Daniel Horst and Duncan Bull. This book was published in collaboration with the Rijksmuseum as part of the Country Series. This volume is also the catalogue for the Good Hope exhibition, and includes contributions by, amongst others: Adriaan van Dis, Marlene Dumas, Bas Kromhout, Maria Holtrop, Duncan Bull.

Book Synopsis The History of South Africa by : Roger B. Beck
Download or read book The History of South Africa written by Roger B. Beck and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To quote the title of Nelson Mandela's 1994 autobiography, it has been a long walk to freedom. The history of South Africa, one of the oldest inhabited places on earth, is also the story of one of the newest nations, made and remade over the last century. This compellingly written history of South Africa, from prehistoric times through 1999, is the only up-to-date history of the nation. Beginning with an overview of the modern nation, this narrative history traces South Africa from prehistory through the European invasions, the settlement by Dutch, the imposition of British rule, the many internecine wars for control of the nation, the institution of apartheid, and, finally, freedom for all South Africans in 1994 and the Mandela years 1994-1999. Twin themes of colonial rule and racism intertwine over the course of the last three hundred and fifty years. Beck, a specialist in the history of South Africa, illuminates the conflicts, personalities, and tragedies of South African history over this period, culminating in the end of apartheid in 1994, the release from prison of Nelson Mandela, and his formation of a new government. Brief sketches of key people in the history of South Africa, a glossary of terms, maps, and a bibliographic essay of suggested reading complete the work. Every library should update its resources on South Africa with this engagingly written and authoritative history.
