Opis

Originally published in 1987 this book argues that South African politics reflect the changing ways in which the region has been incorporated into the world economy. It traces the effects of a process of industrialisation under the dominance of mining on the other sectors of the economy, and on the evolution of the class structure.

Recenzje

‘…an unusually stimulating contribution to our understanding both of what significant historical factors led to the South African apartheid political economy and the salient features of the contradictions in the system.’ Alexander Arthur, Tennessee University, USA.
