South Africa Into The 1980s by Richard E Bissell,Chester A. Crocker Pdf

The question of South Africa's future has become a paramount issue in global politics. This book examines the position of South Africa as it faces the 1980s—its strengths, its weaknesses, and the probable influences of other states on South Africa in the years to come. The authors share a common interest in an analytical approach to a topic often argued with more emotion than rationality. They discuss South Africa's internal situation, with particular emphasis on the interests and aspirations of the political parties competing for power; then they focus on external realities, looking at the country's ability to project influence abroad as well as the power of others to affect events within it. In sum, they highlight crucial trends shaping South Africa's current and future development.

Anatomy of a Miracle by Patti Waldmeir Pdf

The late 1980s were a dismal time inside South Africa. Mandela's African National Congress was banned. Thousands of ANC supporters were jailed without charge. Government hit squads assassinated and terrorized opponents of white rule. Ordinary South Africans, black and white, lived in a perpetual state of dread. Journalist Patti Waldmeir evokes this era of uncertainty in Anatomy of a Miracle, her comprehensive new book about the stunning and-historically speaking-swift tranformation of South Africa from white minority oligarchy to black-ruled democracy. Much that Waldmeir documents in this carefully researched and elegantly written book has been well reported in the press and in previous books. But what distinguishes her work is a reporter's attention to detail and a historian's sense of sweep and relevance. . . .Waldmeir has written a deeply reasoned book, but one that also acknowledges the power of human will and the tug of shared destiny."-Philadelphia Inquirer

The Road to Democracy in South Africa by South African Democracy Education Trust Pdf

Volume 1 tells the history of the struggle for liberation in South Africa in the 1960s and includes chapters about "The turn to the armed struggle" and "The Morogoro Conference." Volume 2 is about the history of the liberation struggle in the crucial decade of the 1970s and includes chapters on "The Soweto Uprisings" and "The ANC Undeground." Volume 3 tells how other countries of the world (those outside the African continent) helped the oppressed majority in South Africa gain their freedom. Volume 4 concentrates on the 1980s, when the liberation movement took major strides that finally broke the backbone of white supremacist rule. Volume 5 highlights the role of supporting the liberation movement that was played by countries on the African continent, including Ghana, Algeria, and Tanzania. Volume 6 describes the crucial period from the unbanning of liberation organisations in 1990 to the triumph of South Africa's first democratic elections in April 1994. It further discusses the afterrmath of the elections: the on-going violence in areas such as Natal and the PWV region, and how South Africans of all political persuasions adjusted to the new dispensation and worked together to devise the 1996 Constitution.--Edited information from back covers.
