1 in stock
Description
C. W. de Kiewiet’s 'A History of South Africa: Social and Economic', first published by Oxford University Press in 1941, examines the development of South Africa with particular emphasis on its social and economic history. Rather than presenting political events alone, de Kiewiet considers the interaction of race, class, labour, colonial expansion and economic development in shaping South African society. The book discusses subjects including frontier relations, the development of the mining industry, the Anglo-Boer War, the formation of the Union and the growth of segregation. Long regarded as an influential work of South African historiography, it remains valuable both as a historical study and as an example of how South African history was interpreted in the first half of the twentieth century.
