It draws on the rich and lively tradition of radical history writing and weaves economic and cultural history into the political narrative.

William Beinart's meticulous, lively introduction to the story of the South African people through the twentieth century is an excellent place to startThe book is at once immensely readable, informative and timely, coinciding in South Africa with one of those rare, fleeting moments when there is a shared feeling of human liberation. * New Internationalist *
