"white Supremacy" provides critical insight and analysis,
By A Customer
This review is from: White Supremacy: A Comparative Study of American and South African History (Paperback)
This is a seminal study which compares the development of white supremacy in Southern Africa and North America. It is well researched and provides the reader with an insightful analysis into race relations in these two regions. Although the book was published in 1982, the analysis continues to be current and essential to those readers who wish to understand the historic context of this important subject.
