Why South Africa Will Survive – L. H. Gann & Peter Duignan

R250.00

– Previously in the library of South African Consulate-General in Hamburg, West Germany.

“A frank and virtually unalloyed admiration for the strength and capability of South Africa’s nationalist regime pervades this study by Hoover Institution Senior Fellows Gann and Duignan. Their thesis-that South Africa will be able to resist all conceivable threats to the status quo for the foreseeable future and that the West should therefore support the current regime-is buttressed by an array of economic and military statistics. Their picture of South Africa’s situation is, however, fatally flawed by their neglect of several crucial factors: the effect of apartheid in creating a new generation of militant blacks; the change in both black and white perceptions about the survival of the status quo with the independence of Angola, Mozambique and Zimbabwe; and the growing Western stake in the resources and trade of black Africa.”
