Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. From the discovery of the Witwatersrand goldfields in 1886 to the impact of the Second Anglo-Boer War, this book tells the story of the Rand, and the mining industry that would grow to reshape regional and global economies. The author takes the reader through the social, economic, and political factors that propelled South Africa to the forefront of global gold production and elucidates the controversies and exploitation of the mines. It provides a vivid and detailed overview of the social and economic conditions in the Transvaal, and how the government's actions and policies created a two-tier system in which the Dutch Reformed Church, Boers, and European immigrants occupied positions of power and privilege while Black Africans, categorized as bywoners or squatters, were condemned to poverty and exploitation. By examining the rise of the Rand and the surrounding socio-economic climate, the author brings to life a complex and multifaceted era in South African history.
