In The Lie of 1652, influential blogger and history activist Mellet retells and debunks established pre­colonial and colonial land dispossession history. He provides a radically new, fresh perspective on South African history and highlights 176 years of San/Khoi colonial resistance.

Contextualising the cultural mix of the Cape, he recounts the history of forced and voluntary migration to the Cape by Africans, Indians, Southeast Asians, Europeans and the African Diaspora in a new way.

This provocative, novel perspective on 'Colouredness' also provides a highly topical new look at the burning issue of land, and how it was lost.

A excellent, comprehensive account of history

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 | Review by: Dean T.

This book lays out the missing parts of a period in South African history that often gets buried. It's a comprehensive look at how the past can be tied to the present. I can confidently recommend this book as essential reading for those interested in the social landscape of South Africa.
