Resistance in the Northern Cape in the nineteenth century

Description:

"This publication forms part of a bigger research project on the history of the liberation struggle in the Northern Cape (NC). The purpose here is to explore the role of traditional leaders and their communities in the struggle against colonisation. ... A significant part of the resistance offered by traditional leaders was focused on countering the destabilisation and fragmentation of indigenous life that resulted from colonisation. Both the Dutch and subsequent British colonisation of the Cape resulted in the disintegration of the indigenous Khoesan societies living there...." -- Introduction.
