History of Inequality in South Africa 1652-2002

Summary: Excellent book to understand priorities in S.A. today
Review: Having spent 3 1/2 years living and working in an African village and trying to understand the S.A. government's rationale for its indifference to the plight of the 70% of its population living in rural villages, Professor Terreblanche offers a clear understanding of the history of the nation which has led it to where it is today. His book will certainly not please everyone, but he provides copious evidence to support his position. I have read 5 different histories of South Africa, Terreblanche's book is by far the best.
