Böcker av Bill Freund

Bill Freund was an eminent South African historian who published in the areas of labour, capital and economic history. In this deeply introspective autobiography, we follow Bill's intellectual journey from a modest Jewish home in Chicago in the 1950s to the Universities of Chicago, Yale, Ahmadu Bello, Dar es Salaam Harvard, and KwaZulu-Natal.

This 1988 book introduces the reader to the literature on the African working class and the main theoretical and social issues that have arisen from it. The history of the emergence of a wage-earning class is outlined and its various cultural, social and political forms are discussed.
