THE CULT OF RHODES | PAUL MAYLAM IN JOHANNESBURG

Subtitle: Remembering an Imperialist in Africa Author: Paul Maylam Publisher: David Philip () ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good - Slight scratching on back cover Binding: Softcover Pages: 184 Dimensions: 23 x 15 x 1 cm +++ by Paul Maylam +++ Cecil Rhodes is the most written about and memorialised figure in Southern African history, the subject of well over 25 biographies and numerous articles. Rhodes has featured in novels, plays and films. This title examines the cult that has developed around Rhodes who, to all accounts, was far from an admirable person. Paul Maylam is himself no admirer of Rhodes and his approach to the subject is ironical and critical as he sets out to address the paradox of why such an unappealing person should have been so venerated and commemorated.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
