Book Description :

[spoiler]Perhaps the*most explosive issue in South Africa today is*the question of*land ownership. The*central theme in*this country's colonial history is*the dispossession of*indigenous African societies by*white settlers, and*current calls for*land restitution are*based on*this loss. Yet*popular knowledge of*the actual process by*which Africans were deprived of*their land is*remarkably sketchy. This book recounts an*important part of*this history, describing how*the Khoisan and*Xhosa people were dispossessed and subjugated from the*time that Europeans first arrived until the*end of*the Cape Frontier Wars (1779-1878). The*Land Wars traces the*unfolding hostilities involving Dutch and*British colonial authorities, trekboers and settlers, and*the San, Khoikhoin, Xhosa, Mfengu and*Thembu people - as*well as*conflicts within these groups. In*the process it*describes the*loss of*land by*Africans to successive waves of*white settlers as*the colonial frontier inexorably advanced. The*book does not shy*away from controversial issues such as*war atrocities committed by*both sides, or*the expedient decision of some of*the indigenous peoples to*fight alongside the*colonisers rather than against them. The*Land Wars is*an epic story, featuring well-known figures such as*Ngqika, Lord Charles Somerset and*his son, Henry, Andries Stockenström, Hintsa, Harry Smith, Sandile, Maqoma, Bartle Frere and Sarhili, and*events such as*the arrival of*the 1820 Settlers and*the Xhosa cattle-killing. It*is essential reading for*anyone who*wants to*understand South Africa's past and*present.[/spoiler]
