The Making of apartheid, 1948-1961 : conflict and compromise

Analyzing the shaping of apartheid, this book argues that it was not the product of a single "grand plan", but that it arose from complex patterns of conflict and compromise within the state, in which white capitalists, the black working class and popular movements had uneven degrees of power.
