YOURS FOR THE UNION | BARUCH HIRSON IN JOHANNESBURG

Subtitle: Class and Community Struggles in South Africa Author: Baruch Hirson Publisher: Witwatersrand University Press () Edition: 2nd Impression ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 230 Dimensions: 21.4 x 13.5 x 1.7 cm +++ by Baruch Hirson +++ A history of the making of the black working class in South Africa covering the period , when South Africa's rapid industrialization created a huge increase in the working class, and uncontrolled urbanization generated vast shanty towns around all the big industrial centres. Set in this environment - and illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs - this rich history of political conflict goes beyond the traditional focus of the mining and factory workplace to include the community struggles of the urban ghettos and rural reserves.   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.
