The Tower of Babel: The Slave Trade and Creolization at the Cape, 1652–1834
In modem South Africa, the emphasis on ethnicity and race disguises the feet that most of today's descendants of the premodern, immigrant South African population do not know from whence they came. If anything, ignorance of geographical roots has been a primary incentive to classify, legally and socially, ali persons in South Africa according to origin and to construct a plethora of odd and exotic identities.
