Ex-library copy with reinforced wraps, covered with clear adhesive plastic; stamps and label remnants to endpapers and prelims. Good condition. "Lesotho, once 'the granary of the Free State and part of the Cape Colony', eventually became an impoverished labour reserve. Mass labour migration destroyed family life in Lesotho as well as in Botswana, Swaziland and the Bantustans within South Africa. Why did the migrant labour system not end with political independence in these countries? This fundamental question is examined by Colin Murray in his penetrating historical study of Lesotho." .
