| Abstract
|
:
|
From the Publisher: This major addition to the Making of the Contemporary World series looks at the contemporary history of the whole Southern African region, focusing mainly on the period since 1974 to the present, but drawing on the post-war period as background. 1974/5 saw the collapse of Portugal's African empire and Jonathan Farley asserts that this set in train a whole range of developments in the southern part of the continent which led to the current situation. The book is thematically structured and looks at all aspects of Southern Africa-economic and social, political, security, foreign policy, health, environment, and the role of women-making it a valuable resource for a wide range of courses alongside history, from politics and IR to economics and African Studies.
