The South African War was a costly and bitterly contested struggle.
It was fought in a region populated by five million people, four
million of whom were black. This is the first history of the war to
focus upon the wartime experiences of black people, and to examine
the war in the context of a complex and rapidly changing colonial
society increasingly shaped, but not yet transformed, by mining
capital. The ways in which the war influenced the lives and
livelihoods of different sections of the black population are
studied - from chiefs and newspaper editors to peasant farmers and
artisans, to farm tenants and industrial workers. Dr Warwick shows
that black people were far more than either spectators to, or
passive victims of, a white man's quarrel, and presents a thorough
revision of accepted views on the war. He reveals the vital roles
performed by black people in both the British and Boer armies, and
shows how the regular and irregular participation of blacks
exercised an influence upon the course of war.
