About This Item
(Pietermaritzburg: University of Natal Press and Shuter & Shooter, 1989) 0869806955. 8vo; original red boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. xxix + (i) + 489, incl. index; photographs; maps. Merest trace of browning to endpapers and edges. Very good condition. "Since the 1960s the history of Natal and Zululand has been dramatically revised and this book reflects that explosion of research activity. The contributors demolish several popular myths in attempting to unravel the truth about such key issues as the origins of Nguni-speaking peoples, the growth of the Zulu kingdom, and the interaction of African and settler societies. They have used new techniques of historical detection, questioned deeply held orthodoxies, and taken into consideration hitherto neglected or underestimated factors such as the impact of environmental disaster, disease and economic trends. Many of the problems which today confront 'Natal/kwaZulu' can be traced back into its history. This book is therefore essential, not only for readers for whom the region's past holds a lasting fascination, but also for those who wish to understand more fully its present condition and future possibilities. It is well illustrated with maps and photographs, including many which have not previously been published and it has an extensive list of sources." .
