It looks at what wellbeing means for under threes in the light of key aspects of international social policy, and practically demonstrates how practitioners can support children in this area. Focusing on the home-setting partnership with parents, work at…
Akukho Ntaka Inokubhabha Ngephiko Elinye(No Bird Can Fly on One Wing): The 'Cattle-Killing Delusion' and Black Intellectuals, c1840-19101
The agenda was set a century and a half ago. In a war zone in southern Africa, bureaucrats manning the states of the Cape Colony and adjacent British Kaffraria were witnessing – and transforming – what they deemed an extraordinary event.They coined names for it: ‘Cattle-Killing mania’, ‘Cattle-Killing’, ‘delusion’. They delineated its spatial boundaries: the mania was confined to Xhosaland and colonised Thembuland. They periodised it: the delusio…
Peasants, Historians, and Gender: A South African Case Study Revisited,1850-1886
A gender revolution allegedly occurred in the British Cape Colony (and South Africa at large) in the nineteenth century. African patriarchs, traditionally pastoralists, took over women's agricultural work, adopted Victorian gender attributes, and became prosperous peasants (nicknamed 'black English'). Scholars have accepted the plausibility of these seismic shifts in masculinity, postulated in Colin Bundy's classic, The Rise & Fall of the South A…
Women, Gender and Colonialism: Rethinking the History of the British Cape Colony and its Frontier Zones, c . 1806–70
That many studies in African and imperial history neglect women and gender is a commonplace. Using a case-study – the British Cape Colony and its frontier zones – this article attempts to demonstrate some consequences of this neglect. It argues, firstly, that it generates empirical inaccuracies as a result of the insignificance accorded to gender differentiation and to women themselves. Secondly, representations of women as unimportant, and men a…

Olive Schreiner's hidden agony: Fact, Fiction and Teenage Abortion
Scholars exploring Olive Schreiner's life have provided diverse interpretations of a crucial year: 1872, when Schreiner was a teenager in the Cape Colony. Primary sources relating to this period were destroyed; it is impossible to provide conclusive evidence of what ‘really happened.’ Nonetheless, this article argues that the possibility that Victorian women could induce abortions has been neglected by both historians and literary critics. It con…

Mass Movements and the Petty Bourgeoisie: The Social Origins of ICU Leadership, 1924–1929
Radical historians criticizing leaders of the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union have focused on their petty bourgeois origins. This article argues that although most organizers of the later 1920s did not derive from the working class, neither were they able to base themselves securely within the petty bourgeoisie. Instead, like lower-middle-class Africans in general, they were being forced ever further from the white bourgeoisie and ever c…
