i am currently taking a comparative study course on new world slavery, and this book interested me. i enjoyed this book.

"white Supremacy" provides critical insight and analysis

This is a seminal study which compares the development of white supremacy in Southern Africa and North America. It is well researched and provides the reader with an insightful analysis into race relations in these two regions. Although the book was published in 1982, the analysis continues to be current and essential to those readers who wish to understand the historic context of this important subject.
