The struggle for the Eastern Cape 1800-1854: Subjugation and the
roots of South African democracy reconstructs our understanding of
a period that has been given little attention in the historical
narratives of South African democracy. It is a narrative of the
land struggles of the Xhosa and other indigenous populations
against subjugation by the British ruled Cape Colony in the first
half of the 19th century. The book also examines an important
turning point in South African history: the introduction of a
non-racial franchise in 1854 which represented the roots of
democracy in this country. By the end of the 19th century this
franchise had nurtured generations of African voters, amongst them
the founders of the 20th century African nationalists who fought
for democracy against white minority rule.
