Writing a Wider War presents a dramatically new interpretation of the role of Boer women in the conflict and profoundly changes how we look at the making of Afrikaner nationalism. African experiences of the war are also examined, highlighting racial subjugation in the context of colonial war and black participation, and showcasing important new research by African historians. The collection includes a reassessment of British imperialism and probing essays on J. A. Hobson; the masculinist nature of life on commando among Boer soldiers; Anglo-Jewry; secularism; health and medicine; nursing, women, and disease in the concentration camps; and the rivalry between British politicians and generals. An examination of the importance of the South African War in contemporary British political economy, and the part played by imperial propaganda, rounds off a thoroughly groundbreaking reinterpretation of this formative event in South Africa's history.
This title showcases recent reflexive research on African Christianity that draws inspiration from the career of Inus Daneel. It evocatively brings together the indigenous knowledges of church leaders and chiefs with various scholarly constructions of African Initiated Churches (AICs) in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Malawi to extend the limits of research in this field. The product of a missionary home and fluent in Shona, Inus Daneel, became fascinated by the interplay among African traditional religions, Shona culture and Christianity. He moved into the Shona communal lands among members of AICs as a participantuobserver in order to gain a better understanding of their spirituality.
