- Summary:
- Chinese constitute one of the smallest and most identifiable minority groups in arguably the most race-conscious country in the world. The authors, a journalist and a librarian--both Chinese South African--focus on historical developments which shaped the Chinese community in South Africa from the 1660s to the 1990s. Topics include Chinese under British and Boer rule; discrimination; community organizations; community response to war in China; education; and finding a niche in post-apartheid South Africa.
