David Poole: A Life Blighted by Apartheid Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Item not Available

Description

This book chronicles the notorious Race Laws promulgated in 1948 by the South African government, obliging adult citizens to be classified as white, coloured, Indian or black and accordingly restricting them as to where they could live and where they could study or be employed.

The book focuses people (who had earlier been segmented) who nevertheless enjoyed successful careers in Britain, such as David Poole and Johaar Mosaval, with the Royal Ballet Company or Basil D'Oliviera, the cricketer, with the MCC.

This book spans several decades, from the promulgation of South Africa's race laws through to the release from prison of Nelson Mandela and the subsequent dawn of the New South Africa.

It will appeal to those interested in cultural and African history, and the arts.
