Chinese Labour in South Africa, 1902-10

Race, Violence, and Global Spectacle

Beschreibung

This book explores the decision of the British Empire to import Chinese labour to southern Africa despite the already tense racial situation in the region. It enables a clearer understanding of racial and political developments in southern Africa during the reconstruction period and places localised issues within a wider historiography.
