It is important to understand the history of the clash of the Europeans (Dutch and English) and Africans (from West Africa and lands north of the Limpopo) and the treatment by the former of the Xhosa and Zulu people. It is also important to understand what the years of Apartheid has cost the country and, unfortunately, the levels of corruption and that are decimating the economy.

History of South Africa
After visiting South Africa I felt I needed to know more about this country. This book sure opened my eyes to the struggle that still continues today for African people.

Unambiguous racism and white supremacy
In the United States we have become so inundated with calls of racism and white supremacism in the 21st century, many Americans are confused. This book can help to clarify these terms and applications. White South Africans did everything imaginable to make sure that the majority black population would never be able to challenge their power in the government, economy, and society. This took place until 1990. These were racist white supremacists. The book also covers some of the challenges that South Africa faces in the post-apartheid period that are unrelated to the period of white rule.

Fine print
This book had a finer print than I expected, I’m looking forward to reading it but won’t be able to read it as quickly as I’d hoped.The super book store that shipped the book was careless in their packing of the book making pages lie open, at the least. Looking at the inside packing it’s a miracle that the entire book wasn’t more damage. And, no I haven’t found how to put this on their site review.
