Quick Overview
For a century cartoonists have been commenting on South Africa's international relations. Indeed, they were doing so long before the academic discipline of International Relations was born. Before think-tanks and international relations experts made their voices heard, a more subversive, and certainly more spicy, variety of understanding and criticism of international relations was at work. This was, of course, the 'sharp eye' on foreign policy and international relations, drawn in jest - and sometimes in anger - by cartoonists. This book is about how these 'other' observers have looked at and commented on South Africa's relations with the world for the past hundred years. It examines their interpretations of the unfolding events in international affairs, and also considers how these commentators and their work have interacted with the more formal understandings of foreign policy and international relations that came long after the cartoons appeared.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
