Originally published in 1982 and based on the 1969 Oxford History
of South Africa, this book discusses some of the trends in the
historiography of South Africa before the beginning of large-scale
mining operations in Kimberley in 1870. A deliberate attempt was
made to look at the roots of South African society and to take due
account of all its peoples. The book includes a survey of
archaeological data, emphasizing the links between South Africa and
the rest of the continent, and between the more remote and more
recent past in South Africa. The lives of the hunting, herding and
cultivating peoples who lived in South Africa before the advent of
the Europeans. The foundation of a colonial society is described,
and the expansion of that society until the 1770s. The final
chapters review the relations between the peoples of the Cape
Colony and the Nguni cultivators from their first meetings until
about 1870 and the growth of the plural society in the Cape Colony
until 1970.
