White politics and the Garment Workers' Union, 1930 - 1953

Bibliography: p. 232-239. / The years after 1930 witnessed the emergence of the present-day National Party and its eventual victory in the 1948 general election. However, little literature has appeared on the white labour movement, the Labour Party and the trade union activities of the Afrikaner nationalists during the period. The Garment Workers' Union was a Witwatersrand-based trade union with a dominant Afrikaner membership. The thesis examines the Garment Workers' Union's political history between 1930 and 1953. The case study was designed to contribute to an understanding of the Afrikaner worker and the trade union movement.
