Limited Edition No. 89 of 500 of this very rare publication b/w illustrations pictorial card covers. The settlement' born of the Passive Resistance Movement initiated by the Indian leader, Mr. Gandhi, and brought to a head by the unparalleled event in the life of the Indian community in South Africa, which assumed the form of a huge strike demonstration by thousands of Indian, laborer's and others (these have now become matters of history) and, incidentally, to consider an aspect or two of the future of colonial-born Indian. It is but fair to preface the introspection with the qualification that whilst Mr. Gandhi has declared 'the settlement' to constitute the "Magna Charta" of the Indians in South Africa, he has been careful to add that it would give the Indians a breathing-space of time, thereby leaving it to be inferred that, as the Magna Charta signed by King John at Runnymead was but beginning of what today are the liberties, privileges, and responsibilities of the Briton, so from the endeavours of the Indian community following upon 'the settlement', [called] the Magna Charta of South African Indians by Mr. Gandhi, must come the eventual complete recognition of the Indian in the life of the state here. Condition:  The book is in excellent condition.

In Johannesburg, this is a way of life - from the frontier town's gold-rush beginnings and subsequent decades of political violence to Joburg now - the economic hub of southern Africa. Built on top of the world's largest gold fields, Johannesburg is always an interesting destination. Inside Joburg is a carefully curated insiders' guide - from the same team that produced the acclaimed bestselling The Joburg Book - filled with unique Joburg experiences to be explored and enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. Inside Joburg takes the reader on a fascinating tour of the city and its surrounds - from ancient meteor strikes to the remarkable fossil discoveries at the Cradle of Humankind, and the people and places that make Johannesburg famous, including Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and the former townships of Soweto, Alexandra and Lenasia. Inside Joburg also showcases architecture, art, music, festivals, sports, dining out and shopping - and includes a list of Joburg's best green spaces.
