Sobre este artículo
London: England: William Collins & Sons Co. Ltd, 1991. Fine/Fine. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. pp.309 with index. Startling and distrubing this book is a portrayl of the complex relations between black and white, Boer and British, the ANC and the Homeland leaders, the intractable and those, white and black, eager for change. The author retraces the route of the Boers that lead to the 1938 battle.
Sinopsis
History lies heavily on South Africa, and Adam Hochschild brings to bear a lifetime's familiarity with the country in an eye-opening work that blends history and reportage. Hochschild looks at the tensions of modern South Africa through a dramatic prism: the pivotal nineteenth-century Battle of Blood River -- which determined whether the Boers or the Zulus would control that part of the world -- and its contentious commemoration by rival groups 150 years later. This incisive book offers an unusual window onto a society that remains divided. In his epilogue, Hochschild extends his view to the astonishing political changes that have occurred in the country in recent years -- and the changes yet to be made.
