A century after the South African War (1899-1902), historians are
beginning to reevaluate the accepted wisdom regarding the scope of
the war, its participants, and its impact. "Writing a Wider War"
charts some of the changing historical constructions of the
memorialization of suffering during the war.
"Writing a Wider War" presents a dramatically new interpretation of
the role of Boer women in the conflict and profoundly changes how
we look at the making of Afrikaner nationalism. African experiences
of the war are also examined, highlighting racial subjugation in
the context of colonial war and black participation, and showcasing
important new research by African historians.
The collection includes a reassessment of British imperialism and
probing essays on J. A. Hobson; the masculinist nature of life on
commando among Boer soldiers; Anglo-Jewry; secularism; health and
medicine; nursing, women, and disease in the concentration camps;
and the rivalry between British politicians and generals. An
examination of the importance of the South African War in
contemporary British political economy, and the part played by
imperial propaganda, rounds off a thoroughly groundbreaking
reinterpretation of this formative event in South Africa's history.
