The Making of Modern South Africa: Conquest, Segregation and Apartheid (Historical Association Studies)

The book examines the major issues in South Africa's history, from the colonial conquest of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, through the establishment of racism, segregation and apartheid, to the spirit of reform, resistance and repression of the 1980s and, now, 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. Nigel Worden examines these changes and assesses developments within the new South Africa in a wide historical context, providing a sharp, analytical overview for all those interested in modern South African history and politics.Worden, Nigel is the author of 'The Making of Modern South Africa: Conquest, Segregation and Apartheid (Historical Association Studies)' with ISBN 9780631181118 and ISBN 0631181113.
