SLAVERY, EMANCIPATION AND COLONIAL RULE IN SOUTH AFRICA

249 pp., maps, paperback, Pietermaritzburg, 2007

Wayne Dooling examines how the landed slave owning ruling class in South Africa came to be, how it exercised power and how the legal ending of servile labour affected this landed class, its former slaves and Khoisan servants and the colonial state in general.
