Communities at the Margin
Communities at the Margin
The practice of social history is particularly advanced by the publication of collective volumes each consisting of fairly diverse studies. An outstanding feature of these publications is the comprehensive introductions in which historiographical, theoretical and comparative frameworks are provided. Communities at the margin: Studies in rural society and migration in southern Africa, 1890-1980 forms part of this valuable body of work. The authors…
Labour in Southern Africa
South Africa's truth and Reconciliation Commission (trc) is meant to purge the evil of the apartheid era from the nation's body politic. In exchange for immunity from prosecution, police, medical doctors, government ministers, and anti-apartheid activists have so far all volunteered graphic testimony of torture, assassinations, destabilization of neighbouring countries, and other crimes against humanity. Perhaps not surprisingly, however, no one …

Labour and Capitalist Development in Africa

Two are edited works combining the perspectives of historians, anthropologists, sociologists, and political scientists working in different parts of the continent, while the third is a specialized historical study of South Africa. The Workers of African Trade, edited by historians Paul Lovejoy and Catherine Coquery-Vidrovitch, contains twelve case studies…

Migrant Labour in South Africa's Mining Economy
This book is a study of the origins of migratory labour and racial discrimination in South Africa's premier industry, the gold mines of the Witwatersrand. Based upon government records and private business archives, it examines the highly competitive world of mine labour recruiting at the turn of the century and concludes that this regimented labour system was the product not only of the mining companies but also of political pressures and econom…
Over-Reach
RÉSUMÉL'article examine les efforts de l'industrie minière sud-africaine pour s'ouvrir de nouvelles zones de recrutement dans les territoires densement peuplés au nord des frontières de l'Union. Sitôt après la guerre anglo-boer, la main-d'oeuvre “tropicale” s'avéra une source du travail à bon marché mais les méthodes de recrutement et la très forte mortalité provoquèrent une série de scandales. En 1913, l'État due intervenir pour interdire à l'in…

South Africa and the Politics of Accommodation
The years since i960 have been no less significant for southern Africa than for the new states north of the Zambezi. Appropriately, the period ends as it had begun with the white south embroiled in major crisis. The events of the past year have precipitated a period of flux unprecedented since Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence (udi) and not really equalled, as far as South Africa itself is concerned, since the grim days of i960. I…
The Problem of South Africa
Immediately after the announcement in London in 1961 that South Africa's application for continued membership in the Commonwealth had been withdrawn, the South African Prime Minister, Dr Verwoerd, spoke to the country by radio to offer an explanation of the events of the prime ministers' conference.1 It was a decision which had been forced upon him,2 he stated, but one which he had taken only ... in the interest of South Africa but also of the Un…
