Book Description
As the most influential and powerful country on the entire continent of Africa, an understanding of South Africa’s past and its present trends is crucial in appreciating where South Africans are going to, and from where they have come. South Africa changed dramatically in 1994 when apartheid was dismantled, and it became a democratic state. Since 2000, when the previous edition appeared, further big changes occurred, with the rise of new political leaders and of a new black middle class. There were also serious problems in governance, in public health, and the economy, but with a remarkable popular resilience too. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of South Africa contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 600 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country’s politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about South Africa.
Spikkels en Spatsels uit Bloemfontein se Verlede

Book Description
"Soos sy voorganger Splinters en dorings uit die Rosestad se verlede (SUN MeDIA, 2015), neem hierdie historiese bundel die leser op 'n reis deur die spikkels en spatsels van pyn en vreugde uit Bloemfontein se verlede. Bloemfontein se eerste inwoners het hul reeds in 1846 hier gevestig, maar die stad het eers in 1945 stadstatus gekry. Die stad – wat aanvanklik grootliks 'n Engelse eiland in die hart van 'n Afrikanerrepubliek was – was só Engels dat selfs 'n besoeker uit Londen destyds verklaar het dat hy hom nêrens anders in Suid-Afrika so gekoester voel as juis in Bloemfontein se Engelse atmosfeer nie. Vanuit hierdie kleurryke verlede het Hannes Haasbroek 'n keur van verhale saamgestel wat die leser sal boei en tot nuwe insigte oor hierdie stad in sentraal Suid-Afrika sal bring. Die verhale in Spikkels en spatsels uit Bloemfontein se verlede, met talle foto's waarvan sommige nog nooit voorheen gepubliseer is nie, word hoofsaaklik kronologies aangebied om 'n aangename en leersame leeservaring te skep.

The Marcus Garvey and Universal Negro Improvement Association Papers, Vol. X
Author: Marcus GarveyPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520932753
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1002
Book Description
"Africa for the Africans" was the name given to the extraordinary movement led by Jamaican Marcus Mosiah Garvey (1887-1940). Volumes I-VII of the Marcus Garvey and Universal Negro Improvement Association Papers chronicled the Garvey movement that flourished in the United States during the 1920s. Now, the long-awaited African volumes of this edition demonstrate clearly the central role Africans played in the development of the Garvey phenomenon. The African volumes provide the first authoritative account of how Africans transformed Garveyism into an African social movement. The most extensive collection of documents ever gathered on the early African nationalism of the interwar period, Volume X provides a detailed chronicle of the spread of Garvey's call for African redemption throughout Africa.

Book Description
H.I.E. Dhlomo (1903-1956) was the first major black playwright in South Africa. His plays on Shaka, Moshoeshoe, Dingane and Cetshwayo, written in the 1930s, were pioneering works in South African drama. Dhlomo was also a prolific poet, and is probably best known for his epic poem Valley of a Thousand Hills, published in 1941. He was a major influence on black journalism and played an important behind-the-scenes role in the founding of the A.N.C. Youth League and other organisations.
