Bo-Tsotsi: The Youth Gangs of Soweto, 1935-1976 (Social History of Africa)

This book explores the style and values of youth gangs in the Soweto area from the 1930s until the 1976 student-led uprising. It also tells the story of how the ANC, PAC, and Black Consciousness movement tried, and ultimately failed, to draw the volatile gangs into disciplined political activity.
