"South Africa The Structure of Things Then is the culmination of fifteen years of photography, research, and writing by acclaimed South African photographer David Goldblatt. In 136 evocative black and white photographs Goldblatt probes the relationships between South African structures and the forces that shaped the society from 1652 to 1990, a period he calls the Era of Baasskap or White domination. His is a seminal exploration that compels the reader to look afresh at South Africa's cultural heritage and to ask 'What do these structures signify? What convictions, what hopes and fears went into their building?'" "In his introduction and the extended captions to the duotone images, Goldblatt gives fascinating insight into the meaning of the structures, and the context from which each photograph emerged. The work is complemented by Neville Dubow's illuminating critical appraisal, 'Constructs: Reflections on a Thinking Eye'."--BOOK JACKET.
