The Turning Points in History series is a joint initiative of the South African History Project in the Department of Education and the Educating for Reconciliation Programme of the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation. The series was created to be used in teaching South African History in the National Curriculum Statement Grades 10 -12. It comprises six books and a teacher's guide, housed in a sturdy, attractive slipcase. Each volume focuses on a dynamic and significant phase in South Africa's history: ancient civilisations and global trade; the impace and limitations of colonialism; migration, land and minerals in the making of South Africa; industrialisation, rural change and nationalism; people, places and apartheid, and negotiation, transition and freedom.
