The Rise, Fall, and Legacy of Apartheid

Dr. P. Eric Louw's latest book is The Rise, Fall, and Legacy of Apartheid. His father was Afrikaans and his mother English. He grew up in Rhodesia. He immigrated to Australia in 1995 and now works ar the University of Queensland. He wrote his latest book after getting fed up with the many misconceptions held by foreigners about apartheid and Afrikaners. The book looks at three political periods: the British (1900-1948), the Afrikaners (1948-1993) and the post-1994 Black nationalist period. The first chapter starts with Lord Alfred Milner and the Union of South Africa in 1910. Louw, a past member of the United Democratic Front, is critical of the ANC.
