　　This book provides a succinct synthesis of South African

history from the introduction of agriculture about 1500 years ago

up to and including the government of Nelson Mandela. Stressing

economic, social, cultural and environmental matters as well as

political history, it shows how South Africa has become a single

country. On the one hand it lays emphasis on the country's African

heritage, and shows how this continues to influence social

structures, ways of thought and ideas of governance. On the other,

it chronicles the processes of colonial conquest and of economic

development and unification stemming from the industrial revolution

which began at the end of the nineteenth century. This leads on to

a de*ion and analysis of the fundamental political changes

which South Africa is currently undergoing, while providing a

background for the understanding of those many things which have

not changed.

　　? Up-to-date both in its coverage and in its synthesis of recent

research ? Well written ? Copiously illustrated
