A History of South Africa, Fourth Edition, Leonard Thompson (author), Lynn Berat (editor), Yale University Press, 2014

Date: October 17, 2018 46 0 Share It

A History of South Africa, Fourth Edition represents Bantu and Khoisan with disturbing ignorance and indifference. Like Giliomee and Mbega, Thompson portrays Bantu as if they have always existed in the current ‘tribal’ designations, when in fact the latter are relatively new creations by the colonialists. Amongst many deficiencies, he also fails, like Landau, to […]

The role of culture in country development

Date: October 9, 2018 42 0 Share It

In his opening address at the Rixaka Forum’s Cultural Diversity Celebration dinner marking Nelson Mandela’s centenary, Professor Muxe Nkondo had this to say about the value of cultural community: “Cultural community has considerable value in virtue of meeting a powerful human need or desire to belong or to feel that one belongs, or a need […]

History of South Africa, Roger B. Beck, Greenwood Press, 2000

Date: March 24, 2016 63 0 Share It

It is well chronicled and can be useful in understanding the history of South Africa in general. However, and perhaps understandably so, Beck’s account is firmly from the point of view of the colonialists. As a […]

The Making of Modern South Africa (third edition), Nigel Worden, Blackwell Publishing, 2000

Date: March 24, 2016 54 0 Share It

Nigel Worden’s The Making of Modern South Africa provides plenty of information on South Africa’s Colonial past. The representation of Bantu in the book is highly incoherent, with, for example, distinction being made between the Xhosa and Nguni when in fact this is the same group. Also, the coverage of Bantu in pre-colonial times is no more […]

Popular Politics in the History of South Africa, 1400 to 1948, Paul S Landau, Cambridge University Press, 2010.

Date: March 24, 2016 48 0 Share It

Popular Politics in the History of South Africa’s account of the origins of the non-white people of the country is interestingly ignorant of the movement of Bantu into the region. Also, probably because the book fails to paint the bigger and correct picture of the origins and movements of Bantu, but instead emphasise on “eyewitness […]
