Dos or Pretium: Marriage, Slavery, and the Roman Inquisition in Lesotho, 1850s-1880s
During the nineteenth century European missionaries harshly criticised several core components of the African societies they attempted to evangelise, including marriage practices. When bridewealth was involved, marriage was often likened to forms of slavery. However, there were exceptions. This article studies the previously unknown intervention of the Roman Inquisition on the 1867 proposal by the Catholic vicar of Natal in southern Africa to con…
Seetsele Modiri Molema: Historian of the Barolong, 1891–1965
African intellectuals started to write history before academic historians began to take an interest in Africa. Often, they spent decades elaborating research methods and research practices, perfectioning their knowledge, and presenting and debating their findings. Their efforts were rarely noticed by academic scholars, who turned their attention to colonial archives and oral sources which they then processed with the techniques of the newly found…
Bonded: Elite Marriage and Slavery in Nineteenth-Century Lesotho
Missionary societies working in Southern Africa established a connection between ‘native marriage' and slavery as part of their initial contacts with so-called ‘Bantu' societies. During the nineteenth century, bridewealth and polygamy were strongly criticized and marriages were commonly defined in terms of the ‘purchase' of women by African men. Modern scholarship has questioned these simplistic arguments and made a strong case against reducing b…
Have You Ever Captured Anything for Your Parents?’ War, Captivity, and Slavery on the Precolonial Southern African Highveld, C.1800–71
The article analyses various cases of captivity in a region comprised within modern-day South Africa and Lesotho in the late precolonial period. Focusing on a single social institution, bohlanka , the article follows its traces scattered among the Batlhaping, the Basotho, the Barolong, the Bataung, and other smaller precolonial communities. Generally considered by scholars as a form of clientship based on cattle-loans, bohlanka is here redefined …
