'Colour, Confusion and Concessions – the history of the Chinese in South Africa' is a detailed and descriptive chronological account providing a comprehensive record of the Chinese in southern Africa from the earliest times to the 21st century.
This new digital edition of the 1996 original contains a foreword and updated preface summarising developments within the Chinese community in South Africa in the first two decades of the new millennium. Additional material outlines two landmark court cases -- the community’s unprecedented challenge of the SA Government’s application of the Employment Equity Act and the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act in 2008 and the Hate Speech case before the Equality Court between 2017 and 2022. A Chinese translation of this work is in the pipeline.
