A fresh and penetrating exploration of South Africa's history, from
the earliest known human inhabitation of the region to the present
"I did not think it was possible for a white person to write a
history of South Africa which a black South African would find to
be a fair and accurate account of a beautiful land and its people.
Leonard Thompson has disabused me of that notion. His is a history
that is both accurate and authentic, written in a delightful
literary style."-Archbishop Desmond Tutu The Fourth Edition of this
classic text brings South Africa's history up to date with a new
chapter chronicling the first presidential term of Mbeki and ending
with the funeral of Nelson Mandela. "An admirably objective history
of South Africa . . . [that] will be most useful in contemplating
the country's future."-Lorna Hahn, New York Times Book Review "This
is a work of insight and durability that is certain to assist South
Africa's coming generation of nation-builders to reach a more
objective understanding of their past."-Foreign Affairs
"Concentrating on southern Africa's black inhabitants, rather than
on its white minority, this work has received universal praise from
scholars and activists alike."-Washington Post Book World "The text
is basic for any reader who wishes to comprehend the historical
patterns that preface the struggles that seethe and boil in this
country. A careful, reliable book for student research."-School
Library Journal
