Black & Gold: Tycoons, Revolutionaries and Apartheid by Anthony Sampson is a compelling and highly readable study of South Africa during one of the most turbulent periods in its modern history. Published in 1987, this important work explores the intricate relationships between political leaders, revolutionary movements, international corporations, mining magnates, and the apartheid state at a time when the country stood at a critical crossroads.
Anthony Sampson, internationally respected journalist and political commentator, draws on extensive interviews and firsthand research to examine the personalities and institutions influencing South Africa’s future. Black & Gold moves beyond simplistic political narratives, instead presenting a nuanced account of the economic realities, international pressures, and ideological conflicts that shaped the apartheid era. Sampson discusses influential business leaders, ANC figures, foreign governments, and multinational corporations, creating a broad and insightful portrait of power and resistance in Southern Africa.
An important title for collectors of Africana, South African political history, anti-apartheid literature, and twentieth-century international affairs, Black & Gold remains relevant for readers interested in the intersection of economics and politics. The work provides valuable historical context for understanding the final years of apartheid and the global pressures that contributed to political change in South Africa.
This 1987 hardcover edition from Hodder & Stoughton presents attractively in its original dust jacket and would make a solid addition to any Africana, political science, or modern history collection.
