| Abstract
|
:
|
Examines the unstable political demography of a small and transient white population balanced atop a large and fast-growing African population in the final years of white minority rule. Suggests that major political events, including the Unilateral Declaration of Independence and the escalation of guerrilla warfare, were in part responses to hidden demographic pressures
