Resistance to Slavery in Africa: Past and Present
Poverty and Respectability in Early Twentieth-Century Cape Town
Cape Town's black population of the early twentieth century actively pursued lifestyles that might be described as respectable. But respectability was expensive, and poverty —characterised by poor housing, ill health and shortened lifespans — stood in the way of some of its most essential elements: cleanliness, sexual restraint, sobriety, and the creation of nuclear and gendered households. Black respectability, therefore, could not simply replic…
Cape Town Knows, but She Forgets: Segregation and the Making of a Housing Crisis during the First Half of the 20th Century
The city of Cape Town experienced a severe housing crisis during the first half of the 20th century, the immediate origins of which were to be found in demographic growth fuelled by natural increase as well as inward migration. The deeper roots of the crisis, however, were in the policy of segregation. This article examines the consequences of the housing shortage for the city’s black population and is concerned with segregation as lived experien…
Reconstructing the Household: The Northern Cape Colony Before and After the South African War
A major component of the South African War, the imperialist conflict that gave birth to modern South Africa, was the violence that occurred between white settlers and indigenous black populations. This article seeks to understand the particular nature of this violence in the northern districts of the Cape Colony. The war intruded into a region in which memories of conquest were alive, and where recently established settler authority was extremely…

The Making of a Colonial Elite: Property, Family and Landed Stability in the Cape Colony, c.1750-1834
Dutch girls carry an aura of property with them. They are first of all property themselves: they bring not only so many pounds of white flesh but also so many morgen of land and so many head of cattle and so many servants. (J. M. Coetzee, 'The narrative of Jacobus Coetzee', Dusklands, 1974) Until its abolition in 1834, slavery formed the backbone of settler agriculture in the Cape Colony and underpinned a complex hierarchy of status and social in…
The Decline of the Cape Gentry, 1838– C . 1900
The final ending of slavery in 1838 marked a radical break in the agrarian history of the Cape Colony. The liberated slaves could and did make use of the mobility that emancipation allowed them. This amounted to a real negotiation of the price of labour, for at various points in the nineteenth century the price of labour threatened the very profitability of farming. For the greater part of the century many landlords were led, in the words of one …
