(Schapera M73) "A valuable examination of the development and effects of 'frontier' policies." - Schapera. "In this book the South African problem is shown, by its historical setting, to have been from the beginning a problem of the possession of land, and a matter of hard economics. To say that there is a clash between the interests of Bantu, Boer and Briton is but to indicate a specific manifestation of a world-wide conflict of races. While the closest parallel is perhaps to be found in the Southern States, similar conditions may be said ipso facto to arise in any modern state (e.g. Kenya and Southern Rhodesia) where widely divergent races meet. Native policy in South Africa, too long the plaything of politicians, and latterly the toy of sociological theorists, has emerged as the bogey-man of panic legislation."
