South Africa's Diverse Peoples - A Reference Sourcebook (Electronic book text)

This authoritative work examines 500 years of interaction between the races in a country that during the apartheid era became a byword for racial disharmony. Descendants of the aboriginal Bushmen, Boer voortrekkers, British Uitlanders, and recent arrivals fleeing poverty in Zimbabwe and Mozambique. This exciting work is the definitive guide to a nation so diverse that its people were once famously described by Archbishop Desmond Tutu as the "rainbow people of God."
