Black Perceptions of South African History.

The concept of a unique Black perception of South African history is rejected for a variety of reasons. Consequently Black interpretations have been neglected. To overcome this shortcoming, "documents" that generally do not concern the historians are utilized in this volume. The primary area of interest is to establish how Blacks understand the contribution of the past to the present. Frequently the expression of this perception is not to be found in primary sources. A rich mine of insight is present in literary works, and the critiques of Black literary critics. 229 Seiten, broschiert (Englischsprachige Literaturen Afrikas/African Literatures in English; Band 3/Verlag Die Blaue Eule 1991) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
