Summary: Rhodesia: Racial Conflict or Coexistence? examines the contemporary racial struggle in Rhodesia-a struggle between a controlling white minority and an African majority with little political power or influence. After providing background information on the development of racial attitudes from 1890 onward, Professor O'Meara offers a detailed treatment of current Rhodesian political parties and movements. With precision and objectivity he explains why some Africans have accepted the ground rules of the Rhodesian political system, including laws, elections, and the parliamentary structure, while others have rejected them and seek to destroy the system.
