The Mind of South Africa: The Story of the Rise and Fall of Apartheid

Allister Sparks

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Tyler Cowen recommends it
Definitely recommended, written at the very end of the apartheid era which gives it yet another angle of interest.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
