Book Synopsis Trek: Studies about the Mobility of the Pioneering Population at the Cape by : PJ van der Merwe
Download or read book Trek: Studies about the Mobility of the Pioneering Population at the Cape written by PJ van der Merwe and published by African Sun Media. This book was released on 2022-12-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work on the pioneering history of the Boers in the Cape Colony (South Africa) before the Great Trek (1835-1846) is primarily based on research in various archives and libraries. However, the author PJ van der Merwe (1912-1979) found it desirable to personally visit different areas mentioned in the book to get to know the country and the people better and to gather oral tradition and personal information. In carrying out this fieldwork during 1938 and 1939, the author covered 15,000 miles by car and questioned hundreds of people (old pioneers, farmers, teachers, magistrates, school inspectors, livestock inspectors, surveyors and police agents). This investigation not only enabled him to better interpret the sometimes fragmentary data found in the archives and old travel descriptions, but also served to supplement it.

Book Synopsis The Shaping of South African Society, 1652–1840. by : Richard Elphick
Download or read book The Shaping of South African Society, 1652–1840. written by Richard Elphick and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History is a powerful aid to the understanding of the present, and those who are concerned with the escalating crisis in South Africa will find this an invaluable source book. This is the story of the evolution of a society in which race became the dominant characteristic, the primary determinant of status, wealth, and power. Cultural chauvinism of the first European colonists – primarily the Dutch – merged with economic and demographic developments to create a society in which whites relegated all blacks – free blacks, Africans, imported slaves – to a systematic pattern of subordination and oppression that foreshadowed the apartheid of the twentieth century. From the beginning of the nineteenth century the new empire-builders, the British, reinforced the racial order. In the next century and a half the industrialized South Africa would become firmly integrated into the world economy. Published originally in South Africa in 1979 and updated and expanded now, a decade later, this book by twelve South African, British, Canadian, Dutch, and American scholars is the most comprehensive history of the early years of that troubled nation. The authors put South Africa in the comparative context of other colonial systems. Their social, political, and economic history is rich with empirical data and rests on a solid base of archival research. The story they tell is a complex drama of a racial structure that has resisted hostile impulses from without and rebellion from within.

Book Synopsis The Attempted Erasure of the Khoekhoe and San by : Jacob Cloete
Download or read book The Attempted Erasure of the Khoekhoe and San written by Jacob Cloete and published by African Sun Media. This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Attempted Erasure of the Khoekhoe and San delves into the complex issue of problematic coloured identity and the ongoing erasure of the Khoekhoe and San people in South Africa. Despite the end of apartheid, this erasure continues to persist today, starting as far back as 1652. There were two types of erasure that took place - genocide and bureaucratic. While the former is acknowledged by President Thabo Mbeki in his “I Am an African” speech, the latter began in 1828 with Ordinance 50 in the Cape Colony. From this point, the Khoekhoe and San were bureaucratically erased, culminating in the 1950 Population Registration Act. Despite these attempts, the Khoekhoe and San people resisted and fought for their identity, resulting in their continued existence in the present day. This book documents their painful journey, highlighting their struggles against subjugation and erasure since 1652.
Book Synopsis Meer oor PJ van der Merwe by : Margaretha Schaefer
Download or read book Meer oor PJ van der Merwe written by Margaretha Schaefer and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "e;Saam met Berigte uit die Dorsland het die historikus se dogter, Margaretha Schaefer, ook Meer oor P.J. van der Merwe saamgestel. Dit vorm as't ware 'n tweeluik. Baie interessant is onder meer koerantberigte oor Van der Merwe se openbare optredes in 1940 terwyl die Tweede Wereldoorlog gewoed het. Hy was toe nog nie 30 jaar oud nie en het pas teruggekeer van Nederland waar hy sy doktorale studies afgehandel het ... In die bundel is verskeie resensies opgeneem wat Van der Merwe oor leidende historici se werk geskryf het. Dit sluit ook in evaluasies van ander historici van sy werk en van die dosente in die Geskiedenis-departement aan die U.S., waarvan hy van 1955 tot 1977 die effektiewe hoof was ... 'n Opstel deur F.A. van Jaarsveld, waarin hy Van der Merwe en sy werk ontleed, is een van die mees uitstaande bydraes van hierdie historikus. Dit is egter die essay getitel Trek, deur die Australiese historikus W.K. Hancock, wat in die tydskrif, The Economic History Review, gepubliseer is, wat beter as alle ander pogings slaag om die unieke bydrae van Van der Merwe tot die Suid-Afrikaanse historiografie te beskryf en te ontleed."e; - Hemann Giliomee

Book Synopsis Mfecane Aftermath by : Carolyn Hamilton
Download or read book Mfecane Aftermath written by Carolyn Hamilton and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide for interpreting the mfecane's role in history Was the mfecane a figment of historians' imagination as Julian Cobbing contends? How large a responsibility do Shaka and the Zulu people bear for the social turbulence in South-central and South-east Africa in the early decades of the 19th century? These are some of the issues explored in this collection, which is designed as a response to the radical critique of Dr. Cobbing and other scholars. The mfecane, suggests Cobbing, must be seen as a myth lying at the root of a set of interlinked assumptions and distortions that have seriously twisted our understanding of the main historical processes of late 18th- and early 19th-century Southern Africa. Contributors to this collection assess the implications of this critique for scholars from a range of disciplines, notably history, anthropology, archaeology, history of art and African languages. But the book is not only about the debate over Cobbing's work; it is also an indicator of the state of current scholarship in Southern Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries and, because it raises questions about the nature of sources and, indeed, about the nature of historical debate itself, it is also about historiography. This book should provide a useful guide for students starting out in this field, as well as a resource for established scholars seeking their way through the textual intricacies of varied editions and secondary texts that become the primary sources for historiographical debate.

Book Synopsis Khoesan and Imperial Citizenship in Nineteenth Century South Africa by : Jared McDonald
Download or read book Khoesan and Imperial Citizenship in Nineteenth Century South Africa written by Jared McDonald and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-24 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the formative and expressive dynamics of Khoesan identity during a crucial period of incorporation as an underclass into Cape colonial society. Khoesan and Imperial Citizenship in Nineteenth Century South Africa emphasises loyalism and subjecthood – posited as imperial citizenship – as foundational aspects of Khoesan resistance to the debilitating effects of settler colonialism. The work argues that Khoesan were active in the creation of their identity as imperial citizens and that expressions of loyalty to the British Crown were reflective of a political and civic consciousness that transcended their racially defined place in Cape colonial society. Following a chronological trajectory from the mid-1790s to the late 1850s, author Jared McDonald examines the combined influences of colonial law, evangelical-humanitarianism, imperial commissions of inquiry, and the abolition of slavery as conduits for the notion of imperial citizenship. As histories and legacies of colonialism come under increasing scrutiny, the history of the Khoesan during this period highlights the complex nature of power and its imposition, and the myriad, nuanced ways in which the oppressed react, resist, and engage. This book will be of interest to scholars and students working on British imperialism in Africa, as well as histories of settler colonialism, nationalism, and loyalism.
Book Synopsis Great Land Rush and the Making of the Modern World, 1650-1900 by : John C. Weaver
Download or read book Great Land Rush and the Making of the Modern World, 1650-1900 written by John C. Weaver and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2003-04-24 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He also underscores the tragic history of the indigenous peoples of these regions and shoes how they came to lose "possession" of their land to newly formed governments made up of Europeans with European interests at heart. Weaver shows that the enormous efforts involved in defining and registering large numbers of newly carved-out parcels of property for reallocation during the Great Land Rush were instrumental in the emergence of much stronger concepts of property rights and argues that this period was marked by a complete disregard for previous notions of restraint on dreams of unlimited material possibility. Today, while the traditional forms of colonization that marked the Great Land Rush are no longer practiced by the European powers and their progeny in the new world, the legacy of this period can be seen in the western powers' insatiable thirst for economic growth, including newer forms of economic colonization of underdeveloped countries, and a continuing evolution of the concepts of property rights, including the development and increasing growth in importance of intellectual property rights.
