One of the greatest challenges South Africa faces is rural poverty and education. This book graphically illustrates the conditions that make the dreams of a better life for all virtually unrealizable in rural areas. Through the voices of rural people themselves, we are told not only what the problems are but also what can and should be done. This book is a richly documented portrait of the lives of communities in selected rural areas, and specifically their thoughts and feelings about education. It is a book that can come at no better time as South Africa is poised to launch a major offensive against poverty in rural areas. Education, this book shows, must be a central component of such an initiative.
This book was originally written as a textbook for exiled South African students at the Solomon Mahlangu Freedom College in Tanzania during the period of the liberation struggle. It covers the period from 1870 to 1990. The book focuses on the history of the liberation and labour movements and on critical social processes, including the mining revolution..
