This new study offers a fresh interpretation of apartheid South Africa. Emerging out of the author's long-standing interests in the history of racial segregation, and drawing on a great deal of new scholarship, archival collections, and personal memoirs, he situates apartheid in global as well as local contexts. The overall conception of Apartheid, 1948-1994 is to integrate studies of resistance with the analysis of power, paying attention to the importance of ideas, institutions, and culture. Saul Dubow refamiliarises and defamiliarise apartheid so as to approach South Africa's white supremacist past from unlikely perspectives. He asks not only why apartheid was defeated, but how it survived so long. He neither presumes the rise of apartheid nor its demise. This synoptic reinterpretation is designed to introduce students to apartheid and to generate new questions for experts in the field.

The all-important problem in South Africa today is the future co-existence of Whites and Non-Whites. For a hundred years the basic issue appeared to be that of race - the rivalry between Dutch and English. Now it is seen to be that of colour - the growing conflict between Europeans and Non-Europeans. In other parts of the world the question of discrimination on the ground of the colour of the skin is being gradually, and in the main peacefully, resolved. Everywhere the Non-Whites insist that what they call 'colonialism' or 'imperialism' can no longer be tolerated. They hold that every race is entitled to govern the land in which it lives, or at least to share in its administration. The Republic of South Africa refuses to fall into line. Its White rulers are not prepared to share authority with Non-Whites. They insist upon the political, social, industrial and residential separation of Europeans and Non-Europeans.
