From the arsenal: the Teachers' League of South Africa: a documentary study of "coloured" attitudes between 1913-1980

Abstract

This anthology explains and highlights the 'political culture' of those people taxonomically referred to in South African racial legislation as "Coloured". It is based on articles written for a journal called 'The Educational Journal', which was, and still is, the official magazine of the Teachers' League of South Africa. Five sections are considered for inclusion, namely, politics, history, language, literature and education. First a historical and political introduction of events, as they affected the so-called "Coloured" people in, especially the Cape Province, over a period of three hundred years, is given.
