Guilty Land. Penguin Special

Paperback. Slight browning to edges of pages through age. The author resigned from his country's diplomatic service in 1957 as a portest against apartheid. In 1960 he was obliged to flee from the South African police. In the first part of this important statement on South Africa today, the author recounts the course of his personal revulsion against all forms of racialism. Though brought up in the full South African tradition, he was preapred to risk his career, his friends, and his future in order to oppose his government's policy. He proceeds in the second part to analyse both apartheid and the deep fear that lies behind it. The doctrine of 'Dominate or be dominated' has ruled the Afrikaner mind since the first Dutchmen began to seize land in the seventeenth century. Treated as an inferior, many a black man has bred a determination to dominate in his turn. Apartheid spawns, not only a legitimate wish for equality, but also an ungly anti-White racialism. 207 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
