Economy and society in pre-industrial South Africa
Over the past forty years there has been a revolution in South African historiography, yet no broadly interpretative essay on South African history has appeared. The essays in this volume aim to provide such a reinterpretation for the nineteenth century before the discovery of minerals transformed the nature of South African societies, and help to shed light on earlier phases of South Africa's past.
Through a series of case studies three crucial areas are explored: the nature of precapitalist societies, the ways in which these were affected by colonial penetration, and the impact on Africans of the colonial experience and methods of control. All the essays, despite regional and temporal diversity and differing emphases, are concerned with the hitherto neglected socio-economic and ideological aspects of South Africa's nineteenth-century history.
