Baruch Hirson ; with a new foreword by Tom Lodge.

|---|---|
| Summary: | Offers a history of the making of the black working class in South Africa. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Hirson covers the crucial period of 1930-47, when South Africa's rapid industrialization led to the dramatic growth of the working class, and uncontrolled urbanization resulted in vast shanty towns which became a focal point for resistance and protest. He goes beyond the traditional focus on the mines and factory workplaces, broadening his account to include the lesser known community struggles of the urban ghettos and rural reserves. --From publisher description. |
