Synopsis

A provocative early critique of power, education, and war, seen through the South African conflict and its wider implications for liberty.

This edition presents The Tocsin as a wide?ranging, argumentative work that blends history, social critique, and commentary on governance. It challenges how empires justify force and urges readers to question the claims of rulers, economists, and diplomats alike. The book examines the roots of oppression, the role of education, and the price of liberty, inviting readers to weigh the moral costs of empire and war.

• Hard?hitting analysis of politics, wealth, and power in imperial contexts


• Historical context on colonial governance and its consequences for ordinary people


• Discussion of education, morality, and the duties of citizens


• Rich excerpts and annotations that illuminate a provocative point of view

Ideal for readers of political history, social critique, and works exploring the ethics of war and empire.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
