"From Apartheid to Democracy: South Africa 1948 - 1994" by John Wright explores the transformative journey of South Africa from the oppressive regime of apartheid to the establishment of a democratic society. Through detailed historical analysis, Wright examines key events, figures, and movements that challenged systemic racism and fought for equality, culminating in the iconic election of Nelson Mandela in 1994. The book offers insights into the struggles faced by activists, the international response to apartheid, and the complex negotiations that led to a new political landscape. It is a compelling narrative of resilience and hope in the quest for justice. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
