During the first half of the nineteenth century, European missionaries in southern Africa sought to establish their intellectual and moral authority over Africans and propagate the tenets of Christianity. Men like Jacob Döhne, Robert Moffat, John Colenso, Henry Callaway and others viewed a knowledge of African languages as key to disclosing ‘the secrets of national character’, to the translation and transmittal of ideas about the Christian ‘God’,…
Terrific Majesty: The Powers of Shaka Zulu and the Limits of Historical Invention
Southern and Central Africa
Between the 1860s and the First World War, all the indigenous inhabitants of southern and central Africa were brought under British rule. Historical writing on southern Africa, including what later became British Central Africa, began at the same time.

Law, Colonialism and Conflicts over Property in Sub-Saharan Africa
In one of classic studies of law colonial Africa, Max Gluckman remarked that Lozi, like all Africans, appear to be very litigious. Almost every Lozi of middle age can recount dispute after dispute which he has been involved.2 Gluckman's study of Barotse, based on fieldwork carried out 1940s, was concerned above all with demonstrating logical paths of ruleoriented decision making which Barotse chiefs followed resolving disputes. He attributed Lozi…

White’ Radical History: A Response
Growing up in a Divided Society: The Contexts of Childhood in South Africa
What does it mean to be a child in South Africa today? This question is answerable only in the context of arpartheid, the legalized separation of races that determines all aspects of life in that country. In Growing Up in a Divided Society, scholars from a wide range of disciplines explore the devastating, pervasive, and profound effects of apartheid and racism on the children of South Africa
White Radical History in South Africa
A History of the ANC: South Africa Belongs to Us
Meli combines the insights of an insider with sound scholarship. Patrick O'MearaMeli's book is a welcome addition to the literature on South L. E.
