Description
Volume 1 tells the history of the struggle for liberation in South Africa in the 1960s and includes chapters about "The turn to the armed struggle" and "The Morogoro Conference." Volume 2 is about the history of the liberation struggle in the crucial decade of the 1970s and includes chapters on "The Soweto Uprisings" and "The ANC Undeground." Volume 3 tells how other countries of the world (those outside the African continent) helped the oppressed majority in South Africa gain their freedom. Volume 4 concentrates on the 1980s, when the liberation movement took major strides that finally broke the backbone of white supremacist rule. Volume 5 highlights the role of supporting the liberation movement that was played by countries on the African continent, including Ghana, Algeria, and Tanzania. Volume 6 describes the crucial period from the unbanning of liberation organisations in 1990 to the triumph of South Africa's first democratic elections in April 1994. It further discusses the afterrmath of the elections: the on-going violence in areas such as Natal and the PWV region, and how South Africans of all political persuasions adjusted to the new dispensation and worked together to devise the 1996 Constitution.--Edited information from back covers.
