This is a study of rural society and struggle in the Transvaal
during the watershed period of the early twentieth century. Though
much has been written about the South African War and
`Reconstruction' period, this is the first scholarly and
comprehensive analysis of their impact on the agrarian Transvaal.
Jeremy Krikler analyses the `Revolution from Above' unleashed by
British imperialism as it wrought changes of immense significance
for the countryside. He explores the relationships between
landowners and peasants, traces the struggle between them, and
examines the agrarian changes attempted by the British after the
war. It is an original, thoroughly researched, and lucidly written
account, which illuminates our understanding of the South African
War and its aftermath. It also offers new insights into peasant
struggles, and into the nature of private property and the colonial
state in the Transvaal.
