Opis

This volume is the first general social and economic history of the Western Cape of South Africa. Until now, this region had been largely neglected by historians because it does not occupy a central place in the national political economy. Th e argument of this book is that a great deal about modern South Africa has been shaped by the distinctive society and economy of the Western Cape. Its history also reveals striking parallels and contrasts with other regions of the African continent.
