Wrappers a little rubbed and curled; occasional fox spot. Good to very good condition. "South End today is a quiet suburb of Port Elizabeth, situated on the way to the airport. Yet, only thirty years ago it was a bustling suburb, brimming with activity, and populated by a very cosmopolitan community. For more than a century a variety of nationalities and religions had lived in harmony in South End, respecting each other's culture, language and way of life. In 1950 that picture of peace and harmony was shattered with the passing of the Group Areas Act which decreed that people of different cultures could not live together any longer. In the 1960s the National Party government declared South End a 'white' residential suburb. Subsequently, the homes of 'non-whites' were expropriated, the people were evicted and their entire suburb demolished. Churches, schools and sports clubs had to close; their buildings were torn down. Businesses and shops closed down; their proprietors made destitute. Streets were obliterated; landmarks and memories wiped out. The people of South End were dispersed and resettled in an area to the north of Port Elizabeth. The heart was ripped out of 'old' South End. In its place came a 'new' South End - rows upon rows of uninspiring townhouses, up-market 'yuppie' pads, luxury complexes, and re-named streets, and a brand-new set of residents. South End 'as we knew it' was not more. This book has tried to re-capture the essence of 'old' South End, to refresh tired memories, and provide former residents of South End with an opportunity to tell their children what life was like in South End, long, long ago .

Book Description Edited by Raymond Uren. 290 x 209 mm; pictorial wrappers; pp. xii + 116; numerous historical photographs; tables; maps and street plans. Very good condition. Uncommon. "We have followed the road with the residents of old South End as they were scattered to desolate, isolated and deserted areas all over the city. All this happened in the name of the Group Areas Act enacted by a despotic Apartheid government. The people went through horrific hardships, many died of shock even before they started to move. The story of old South End is also the story of Sophiatown and Fordsburg in Johannesburg, Cato Manor and Phoenix in Durban, District Six in Cape Town, North End in East London and Bridgeton in Oudtshoorn. This book is an account of how the old South Enders struggled to find their feet religiously, educationally, politically and in the sporting scenario in the new areas.". Seller Inventory # 11628
