The Commissions of W.C. Palgrave
Author: E. L. P. Stals
Publisher: Van Riebeeck Society, The
ISBN: 9780620160797
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
W.C.Palgrave was active in Namibia over 25 years. He spent some eight years in the country as private individual before becoming a civil servent in Griqualand East. This prepared him for his work as Special Commissioner to Damaraland (Hereroland) and Namaland, undertaking five consecutive commissions in all on behalf of the Cape Government. This volume contains the official journals, or in some case minutes and reports, which were produced by various secretaries during these commissions. The main theme of Palgrave's instructions and work was to introduce British influence in the territory. The realities of Namibia on the brink of colonisation come alive in this record of discussions between Palgrave and the eminent indigenous leaders on the issues of the day, giving a unique insight into the character and dynamics of a society in a crucial stage of its history. (from cover blurb).

Hidden Histories of Gordonia
Author: Martin Legassick
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1868149552
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
The Gordonia region of the Northern Cape province has received relatively little attention from historians. In Hidden Histories of Gordonia: Land dispossession and resistance in the Northern Cape, 1800–1990, Martin Legassick explores aspects of the generally unknown ‘brown’ and ‘black’ history of the region. Emphasising the lives of ordinary people, his writing is also in part an exercise in ‘applied history’ – historical writing with a direct application to people’s lives in the present. Tracing the indigenous history of Gordonia as well as the northward movement of Basters and whites from the western Cape through Bushmanland to the Orange River, the book presents accounts of family histories, episodes of indigenous resistance to colonisation, and studies of the ultimate imposition of racial segregation and land dispossession on the inhabitants of the region. A recurrent theme is the question of identity and how the extreme ethnic fluidity and social mixing apparent in earlier times crystallised in the colonial period into racial identities, until with final conquest came imposed racial classification.

Category : Namibia
Languages : en

Book Description
During the century 1795-1895, the Royal Navy carried out a series of surveys of the south-western coast of Africa.

The book brings to life a period that combined serious scientific work with adventure at sea, gunrunning, feudal hegemonies, suicidal politics, diplomatic wrangling, danger and betrayal.
