Drawing on never-before-published documentary evidence - including diaries, letters, eyewitness testimony and diplomatic reports - the book follows the South African people through the battles, elections, repression, resistance, strikes, insurrections, massacres, economic crashes and health crises that have shaped the nation's character. Tracking South Africa's path from colony to Union and from apartheid to democracy, History of South Africa documents the influence of key figures including Pixley Seme, Jan Smuts, Lilian Ngoyi, H.F. Verwoerd, Nelson Mandela, Steve Biko, P.W. Botha, Thabo Mbeki, Jacob Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa. The book gives detailed accounts of definitive events such as the 1922 Rand Revolt, the Defiance Campaign, Sharpeville, the Soweto uprising and the Marikana massacre. Looking beyond the country's borders, it sheds light on the role of people such as Mohandas Gandhi, Winston Churchill, Fidel Castro and Margaret Thatcher, and unpacks military conflicts such as the World Wars, the armed struggle and the Border War. The book explores the transition to democracy and traces the phases of ANC rule, from the Rainbow Nation to transformation, state capture to 'New Dawn'. It examines the divisive and unifying role of sport, the ups and downs of the economy, and the impact of pandemics from the Spanish flu to AIDS and COVID-19"--Publisher's website 651 0 $a South Africa $x History. 651 0 $a South Africa $x History. $x History. 651 0 $a South Africa $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a South African War, 1899-1902 $x History. 650 0 $a Apartheid $z South Africa $x History. 650 0 $a Afrikaners $z South Africa $x History. 651 6 $a Afrique du Sud $x Histoire. 651 6 $a Afrique du Sud $x Histoire. $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Guerre des Boers, 1899-1902 $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Apartheid $z Afrique du Sud $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Afrikaners $z Afrique du Sud $x Histoire. 650 7 $a Race relations $2 fast 650 7 $a Colonization $2 fast 650 7 $a Apartheid $2 fast 650 7 $a Afrikaners $2 fast 651 7 $a South Africa $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJcWtkkqd3cMmFw9GBdYT3 648 7 $a Since 1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Documents d'information. $2 rvmgf 941 $a 1 952 $l OUAX845 $d 20240816052141.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F81DC82A5B9611EFABE9BE7952ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOTInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
