Gold Mining and Politics--Johannesburg, 1900-1907: The Origins of the Old South Africa (African Studies (Lewiston, N.Y.), V. 58a-58b.)

The attempt here is to find and explanation of the Reconstruction by focussing on two groups which were at its heart- the rand British industiral population, and the mining financiers who were so influential amongst them. Futhermore, the intimate relationship between the two groups, which was both collaborative and combative, has never been choroughly analyzed.
