Callinicos, Luli : A Place in the City: The Rand on the Eve of Apartheid. A People's History of South Africa: Volume Three

(Johannesburg: Ravan, 1993)

Folio, laminated pictorial wraps, pp. (viii) + 139, numerous illustrations. 'A Place in the City looks at the decade of the 1940s through the experiences or six ordinary people who lived and worked on the Rand fifty years ago. These stories form the background to Callinicos' exploration of community and workplace struggles on the Rand, at a time when the rise of Afrikaner nationalism and the apartheid state were setting the context for increased conflict. Finally, Callinicos explores the significance of the 1940s, arguing that the struggles, successes and failures of the period contributed to the subsequent mass mobilisation and popular and political struggles against apartheid. Interspersing original photographs from the period with the method of popular history so well established in her previous books, Luli Callinicos vividly documents a short but crucial time in the rapidly changing history of South Africa.'
