Description
A Newspaper History of South Africa by Vic Alhadeff presents South African history through newspaper headlines and front-page reports published at the time of major events. Rather than retelling the country’s past solely in retrospect, the book brings together contemporary newspaper coverage to show how significant events were reported to the public as they unfolded.
The collection covers major political developments, conflicts and cultural milestones, providing a visual record of changing attitudes and events across South Africa’s history. The original newspaper material also gives the book the character of a historical archive and documentary record.
A good choice for readers interested in South African history, journalism, newspapers, political history and historical ephemera.
