"The Ciskei "Homeland" has long been a center of African nationalism and of conflict between whites and blacks. Switzer's examination of the press in this area also shows on a larger national scale, how the South African privately owned commercial press promotes dependency of blacks upon whites by perpetuating the values of the white governing class. The introduction briefly surveys South Africa's communications industry." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 423)
