369 pages. Enforced labour migration was an intended economic-political policy of all governments in South Africa from the mid 19th Century - most far-reachingly under apartheid rule. These essays deal with contemporary and historical issues principally in the Eastern Cape areas. The dustjacket is poor; it has much wear and tear about all edges, corners. The faces of the dj covers are scuffed and shelf marked. The dj spine is strong, it has wear to head and foot. The black board cover is tough and resolute. It has wear to the extremities and to the spine. There are ownership and storage marks. Inside, the front and end papers have handling marks. There is a previous owner inscription on the frontispage. The pages themselves have evidence of much readership, but are clear, clean, complete, firm, serious, sure, uninjured, unblemished. fk. Book Condition: Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Poor
