ISBN 0949973238

Africana Reprint Library, Volume Ten. Text facsimile of the Unwin 1923 edition, with a new foreword by Richard Rive, and illustrations. 8vo; white rexine, lettered in silver gilt on spine; pictorial endpapers; pictorial dustwrapper (housed in removable protector); pp. xxii + 398; plates. Near fine condition. "One of the most mature and finest pieces of polemical writing to come out of South Africa, Olive Schreiner's Thoughts on South Africa comprises eight essays and four short appendixes which were edited and prepared for posthumous publication by her husband, Samuel Cronwright-Schreiner, in 1923, more than thirty years after most of the essays were written. ... Of the twelve separate pieces, six are concerned with the Boer, two each with the fauna and natural features of South Africa and the treatment of black and mixed people, and one each with the Englishman and the South African nation. In this work of remarkable vision, Olive Schreiner foresaw the developments which led to the Anglo-Boer War; indeed, answers are even now being sought to problems she posed nearly a century ago."
