Cradock is a vivid history of a South African town in the years
when segregation gradually emerged, preceding the rapid and
rigorous implementation of apartheid. Through the details of one
emblematic community, Jeffrey Butler offers an ambitious treatment
of the racial themes that dominate recent South African history.
Although Butler was born and raised in Cradock, he eschews
sentimentality in favour of scholarly precision. Augmenting the
obvious political narratives, Cradock examines the poor
infrastructural conditions, ranging from public health to public
housing, that typify a grossly unequal system of racial segregation
but are otherwise neglected in the region's historiography. Butler
shows, with the richness that only a local study could provide, how
the lives of blacks, whites and coloureds were affected by the
bitter transition from segregation before 1948 to apartheid
thereafter.
