"Industrial Port Elizabeth, South Africa," December 1971

01

Artifact Overview

The Port Elizabeth Publicity Association created this brochure to promote the benefits of the South African city. Sections touted the advantages of the region's infrastructure, climate, location, and commercial and industrial possibilities for potential investors. However, the publication's glowing descriptions glossed over apartheid -- the system of harsh racial segregation imposed by the minority white South African government.
