My CartNew Babylon New Nineveh - Charles van Onselen
New Babylon New Nineveh: Everyday Life on the Witwatersrand 1886-1914 by Charles van Onselen is a single volume compilation of New Babylon and New Nineveh. Van Onselen portrays some of the human consequences of the profound economic and political changes that transformed South Africa in the period between the discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand and the First World War.
New Babylon looks at the liquor sellers, prostitutes and cab drivers and New Nineveh looks at the domestic servants of the white middle class, working-class Afrikaners and the men of the 'Regiment of the Hills' - the Witwatersrand's black workers
