Description
This is an excellent historical narrative … on South African history … The seven neatly researched chapters provide an interconnected narrative of… historical events highlighting some of the nuances … of South African history. The author has successfully managed to come up with a bottom-up kind of … history, whereby neglected and hidden aspects of South Africa’s cultural and rural histories are unravelled. … What makes this book significant is that it acknowledges rural and cultural history.

It is rare to come across a book that draws different epochs together in such a skilful manner. Shamase’s book looks at precolonial history and moves on to discuss aspects of the pre-1994 history of liberation. All the chapters are meticulously presented … I was delighted to read this book. It is a well-researched text. It is lucid and coherent.
