THE ATTEMPTED ERASURE OF THE KHOEKHOE AND SAN

216pp., paperback, Stellenbosch, 2023

Filmmaker and researcher Dr Jacob Cloete on the continuing struggle of the Khoekhoe and San against subjugation and erasure, and 'coloured' identity in South Africa.

"The Attempted Erasure of the Khoekhoe and San is premised around three events, namely the #RhodesMustFall and #FeesMustFall movements, as well as the personal upbringing of the author ... Even though The Attempted Erasure of the Khoekhoe and San is intended for specialists, this unique book can be of interest to readers in South Africa, as well as in the neighbouring Namibia and Botswana, where Khoekhoe and San communities are found, as it touches many topics like land, Christianity, and marginalisation, to name a few."
