Cape Town: Maskew Miller Limited, 1959 From the front flap: This book is the outcome of a resolution adopted by the South African Inter - University Committee for African Studies to sponsor and prepare for publication a handbook on South African tribes. Hitherto there has been no single comparative survey sufficiently detailed and catholic in scope and content to form a satisfactory manual of South African ethnography. The contributors include all the foremost authorities in South Africa on Bantu ethnography and linguistics. Most of the book is devoted to an account of the Bantu as they were before affected by the intrusion of western civilization. Chapters are included on racial origins, habitat, grouping and ethnic history, social organization, in dividual development, domestic and communal life, economic activities, government and law, religion and magic, music, tradi tional literature and language.

Johannesburg: Perskor Uitgewery, 1975 Binne gedeelte van omslag lees: Sonder die vroue sou daar geen Groot Trek gewees het nie - dit is hulle wat die trekgedagte gevoed en een van hulle wat gedreig het om barrevoets oor die Drakensberg te trek indien die mans in hul vryheidstryd sou tou opgooi. Tog word in die groot opset van die geskiedenis vroue selde individueel genoem omdat die ver haal van die Groot Trek meesal oor die dade van belangrike leiers gaan. Maar agter elke suksesvolle man is daar 'n vrou wat hom aanmoedig en in spireer i en op die Trek was dit nie anders nie. Om dié rede vul die werk van die bekende Anna de Villiers so 'n groot leemte in die kennis oor die epos wat daardie roemryke landverhuising van 1836-38 is. Dit is 'n boek oor die geskiedenis, maar geskryf vir vroue en jeugdiges. Op haar immer interessante manier laat die skryf ster talle bekende figure vir die leser 'n gesig kry: deur die verhaal van die vrou in die lewe van die man is dit ook moontlik om… Leer más

England: Helion & Company, 2014 As Cuban and Angola fighter pilots honed their skills over the skies of Northern Angola, David Mannall, a normal 17-year old kid completing High School, was preparing for two years of compulsory military service before beginning Tertiary education. Through a series of fateful twists he found himself leading soldiers in a number of full-scale armoured clashes including the largest and most decisive battle on African soil since World War II. The climactic death-throes of Soviet Communism during the 1980s included a last-gasp attempt at strategic franchise expansion in Southern Africa. Channelled through Castro's Cuba, oil-rich Angolan armed forces (FAPLA) received billions of dollars of advanced weaponry and intended to eradicate the US-backed Angolan opposition (UNITA), then push southwards into South Africa's protectorate SWA/Namibia, ostensibly as liberators. This is the David and Goliath story that, due to seismic political changes in the region, has never… Leer más

London: John Murray, 1967 The Battle of Majuba Hill in 1881 may be accounted the most humiliating defeat in British military history. The Transvaal Boers (an army of deerstalkers) stormed an apparently impregnable position inflicting heavy casualties on the regular British troops with little damage to themselves. Dr Ransford describes the events, both political and military, that led up to the engagement including the last use of redcoats in action, and makes a fascinating study of General Colley's extraordinary handling of the bat tle. The Majuba campaign, revealing as it does the ineptitude of contemporary mili tary thinking, is carefully fitted into the context of nineteenth century southern Africa and the battle itself is shown to have influenced history out of all proportion to the numbers engaged. The author's familiarity with the 'Hill of Destiny' and the surrounding country enables him to re create and analyse the campaign in a remarkable way.… Leer más

1973 N. Chabani Manganyi is one of South Africa's most eminent intellectuals and an astute social and political observer of his time. He has had a distinguished career in psychology, education and in government, and has written widely on subjects relating to ethno-psychiatry, autobiography, black artists and race.Being-Black-in-the-World, one of his first publications, was written in 1973 at a time of global socio-political change and renewed resistance to the brutality of apartheid rule, including the Durban strikes of 1973 and the emergence of Black Consciousness. Publication of the book was delayed until the young Manganyi had left the country (to study at Yale University) as his publishers feared that the apartheid censorship board and security forces would prohibit him from leaving the country, and perhaps even incarcerate him, for being a 'radical revolutionary'. Like Fanon in Black Skins, White Masks, Manganyi expressed the vileness of the racist order and its effect on the human… Leer más
