White Supremacy by George M Fredrickson
In this first comparative history of race relations in the United States and South Africa, George M.Fredrickson uncovers parallels and differences in the origin and expression of white supremacy in the two countries. He traces the history of slavery in its different guises from the colonial period through the coming of industrialization, when the paths of the two countries diverged dramatically, to our own turbulent present.
