chronicles how and why the Black women of South Africa protested so
vehemently against the pass book laws. The actions of the women, which
were very bold, dangerous and often with harmful consequences — caught
the men by surprise.
The introduction provides an excellent historical backdrop from which to understand the many elements and forces in effect at that time and a means to better analyze the rational why at this particular point in time so many women took part in unprecedented actions. |
