Product Description
The book has two main aims. First, to outline the history of South Africa and to show how the roots of the present tragic situation lie deep in the past. Secondly, to present some of the evidence which historians are using to work out what happened and why. The book is divided into three parts, dating from the earliest times to the Mineral Revolution and Apartheid. Students are encouraged to analyze the documentary material in order to understand the reasons for the many changes in South African history. It discusses the changes brought about by the discovery of the country's rich mineral wealth, and the subsequent white control of industry and explains how the white minority took political and economic control and the effects on the black community. The sources are designed to encourage students to recognise the interplay of the different historical factors in determining the present state of South Africa and rather than focusing, in isolation, on the contemporary issue of apartheid, the book shows how the country's history has shaped that development.Relevant maps are included throughout, showing geographical military and political features and there are questions and assignments which arise directly from the source material. It is designed for 14-16 year old secondary school students of average to above average ability and is suitable for all GCSE syllabuses. ... Read more

Product Description
George McCall Theal (1837-1919) was a prolific South African historian and civil servant. After working as a missionary between 1875-1880 he was appointed magistrate of Tamacha before taking a position as a clerk in the government and became Keeper of the Cape Colony Archives. He was appointed Colonial Historiographer in 1891. These volumes, first published in 1908, contain Theal's detailed history of South Africa between 1795-1894. Focusing on the political history of the country, Theal explores the British control of Cape Colony and the reactions of the Dutch setters to increasing British immigration, discussing the political consequences of the establishment of the various Boer Republics and the growth of Zulu power in South Africa. These volumes provide valuable details on the political history of South Africa, and reveal contemporary attitudes towards the history and ideas of colonisation. Volume 3 covers the colonies between 1846-1860. ... Read more
