Edited by Saunders and Limb, this third edition of the Historical Dictionary of South Africa--first published in 1983--has been expanded to include the many changes in South Africa's post-apartheid development. The dictionary opens with a chronology of South Africa that spans the Stone Age to the present, including extensively detailed entries for the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.... The volume includes a bibliography that is divided into general subject areas, including culture, economy, history, politics, religion, and society. This extensive bibliography provides an entry point to the vast literature on which the dictionary is based, and will be especially useful for undergraduate and early career graduate students who are just beginning their research. Supplemental information includes maps and a list of relevant academic and general websites. Recommended.
