Coming fifteen years after South Africa's achievement of majority
rule, this book takes a critical and searching look at the
country's past. It presents South Africa's past in an objective,
clear, and refreshing manner. With chapters contributed by ten of
the best historians of the country, the book elaborately weaves
together new data, interpretations, and perspectives on the South
African past, from the Early Iron Age to the eve of the mineral
revolution on the Rand. Its findings incorporate new sources,
methods, and concepts, for example providing new data on the
relations between Africans and colonial invaders and rethinking
crucial issues of identity and consciousness. This book represents
an important reassessment of all the major historical events,
developments, and records of South Africa - written, oral, and
archaeological - and will be an important new tool for students and
professors of African history worldwide.
