History Matters: Selected Writings, 1970–2016
Bill Nasson
History Matters is an eloquent selection of writings over four
decades by Bill Nasson, one of South Africa’s most popular and highly
respected historians. The pieces in this compendium are lively and
entertaining, written with wit, humour and a finely tuned sense of
irony. Chapters cover the Anglo-Boer War, the two World Wars, cricket,
District Six, schooldays and education, Spike Lee, Hollywood and
history, Mandela and other political biographies, and a great many other
topics. Resembling a pudding of spicy plums, this is a perfect book for
anyone interested in South Africa and its history, and in a broader
appreciation of tweaking the tail of life in the past.
