Cecil Rhodes: The Man Who Expanded an Empire
No Customer Reviews
In this biography, readers will discover the remarkable journey of Cecil Rhodes from England to the diamond mines, parliament houses, and battlefields of Africa. The stunning facts, vibrant images, engaging sidebars, and supportive text give readers a look into the Age of Imperialism and into Rhodes' life. Readers will learn about how he ventured into diamond mining, created the De Beers diamond company, started a scholarship fund, settled Rhodesia, and shaped policies that limited the rights of black South Africans through his belief in Social Darwinism. This book also includes text features like a table of contents, glossary, and index, as well as an in-class activity that allows students to think deeply to determine whether or not Rhodes was responsible for apartheid in South Africa.
