"If I had to recommend a single book to anyone interested in
learning about the origins and effects of South Africa's apartheid
system, it would be this one by Eric Louw. He has given one of the
most succinct accounts I have ever read.....Louw lays out in great
detail the theory of apartheid, arguing that "at heat, apartheid
was a radical survival plan," but he then shows how that theory
changed with events. His historical account of apartheid is both
comprehensive and readable, while his chronology of the building of
apartheid provides an excellent teaching and learning tool....[o]ne
cannot but praise the overall use of this fine work."-African
Studies Review
