Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1908, is a thoroughly researched and detailed account of the commission tasked with investigating the liquor laws of the Transvaal. Within a broader context of mixed populations and a history of severe social restrictions placed on non-white citizens in South Africa, the author delves into the complexities of controlling access to alcohol. This book proposes to examine the best methods of reforming liquor licensing and provides a comprehensive review of the relevant laws in each South African colony. The author argues that a system of supervised consumption on the premises is a viable solution and preferable to strict prohibition enforced elsewhere, focusing on gradual education and self-control. Thoughtfully exploring themes of race, class, health, economics, and the role of government, this book illuminates the challenges faced by South Africa in implementing equitable and effective liquor laws.
