About This Item
(Cape Town, Juta, 1974). 8vo; original blue boards; dustwrapper; pp. (x) + 190, incl. index; tables. Dustwrapper somewhat rubbed and a little edgeworn; previous owner's discreet hand-stamp on front free endpaper. Very good condition. "This study depended on the co-operation of nearly one thousand of South Africa's top men and women who devoted a few hours of their valuable time to complete comprehensive questionnaires. The book contains not only details about their socio-economic backgrounds, educational achievements, images of the future, views on class and race, and attitudes towards other population groups, but also places them in the wider context of the rest of the White population. A major finding of the book is the striking contrasts between backgrounds and opinions of English- and Afrikaans-speaking elites; such contrasts are far less marked between the younger members of the White population." .
