PLUS a very recently published book entitled 'Waves Across The South', sub-titled 'A New History of Revolution and Empire'. Written by Sujit Sivasundaram, this presents an entirely new way of looking at the history of colonial expansion in the Southern Hemisphere. It is both challenging and utterly fascinating. It is, however, no light reading, as you would expect as the author is Professor of World History at Cambridge. The two dozen or so pages on South Africa are worth the price of the book alone, of course in my view.
