Synopsis
Excerpt from The Government of South Africa
For geographical reasons it would be diifi Dem cult for an enemy to invade South Africa by land, but its coasts and harbours are at the mercy of any fleet which has obtained command of the sea. At present the only protection to which this country can look against attack by sea is afforded by the Imperial navy. This remark applies to the inland colonies as fully as to the coast colonies.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the vibrant complexities and divisions of South African society in the early 20th century, particularly the unique challenges posed by its deeply ingrained racial segregation. The author analyzes the legal and social mechanisms used to enforce this segregation, delving into their impact on both the white and black populations. It explores the various approaches taken by different regions within South Africa to address the "native question", ranging from the Cape Colony's attempts at assimilation to the more restrictive policies of Natal and the inland colonies. The book highlights the tensions between the desire for self-governance and the need to protect the rights of all citizens, revealing the complexities of South Africa's journey towards racial equality.
