Between 1838 and 1888 the recently formed Zulu kingdom in
southeastern Africa was directly challenged by the incursion of
Boer pioneers aggressively seeking new lands on which to set up
their independent republics, by English-speaking traders and
hunters establishing their neighboring colony, and by imperial
Britain intervening in Zulu affairs to safeguard Britain's position
as the paramount power in southern Africa. As a result, the Zulu
fought to resist Boer invasion in 1838 and British invasion in
1879. The internal strains these wars caused to the fabric of Zulu
society resulted in civil wars in 1840, 1856, and 1882-1884, and
Zululand itself was repeatedly partitioned between the Boers and
British. In 1888, the old order in Zululand attempted a final,
unsuccessful uprising against recently imposed British rule. This
tangled web of invasions, civil wars, and rebellion is complex. The
A to Z of the Zulu Wars unravels and elucidates Zulu history during
the 50 years between the initial settler threat to the kingdom and
its final dismemberment and absorption into the colonial order. A
chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, maps, photos,
and over 900 cross-referenced dictionary entries that cover the
military, politics, society, economics, culture, and key players
during the Zulu Wars make this an important reference for everyone
from high school students to academics.
