Book excerpt: It is impossible to separate the Great Trek from events which took place as far back as the Portuguese explorers because those events shaped the backdrop to the causes of the Great Trek. Most writers have specialized in the trek itself whereas Binckes has adopted a broader approach that studies the impact of the earlier white incursions and migrations on southern Africa, to create a better understanding of the trek and its causes.

This book was released on 2018-04-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Great Boer Trek: And the Origin of the South African Republics When this country took over the Cape Colony, the farmers in the rural districts had been demoralised by the habit of receiving grants of blocks of from ten to thirty square miles for single farms. Civilisation and even government loses its hold upon a population so scattered. The farmers had ceased to cultivate according to civilised methods, and had relapsed into a purely pastoral and even nomadic life. The territory had become too small for this wasteful colonisation, and the Boers habitually encroached, both temporarily and permanently, upon the lands of the sur rounding native tribes. These tribes not um naturally made reprisals, especially as the treat ment accorded to them was uniformly severe.

Book The Great Treks

    Book Details:
  • Author : Norman Etherington
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2014-06-06
  • ISBN : 1317883136
  • Pages : 395 pages

Download or read book The Great Treks written by Norman Etherington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mass migration of the Boer farmers from Cape Colony to escape British domination in 1835-36 - the Great Trek - has always been a potent icon of Africaaner nationalism and identity. For African nationalists, the Mfecane - the vast movement of the Black populations in the interior following the emergence of a new Zulu kingdom as a major military force in the early 19th century - offers an equally powerful symbol of the making of a nation. With their parallel visions of populations on the move to establish new states, these two stories became part of divided South Africa’s separate mythologies, treated as unconnected events taking place in separate universes. For the first time, in this groundbreaking book, accounts of both migrations are brought together and examined. In uniting these separate visions of African and Afrikaaner history, Norman Etherington provides a fascinating picture of a major turning point in South African history, and points the way for future work on the period.

Book From Memory to Marble

    Book Details:
  • Author : Elizabeth Rankin
  • Publisher : Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
  • Release : 2020-02-10
  • ISBN : 3110668785
  • Pages : 522 pages

Download or read book From Memory to Marble written by Elizabeth Rankin and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-02-10 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, the 92-metre frieze of the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria, one of the largest historical narratives in marble, has been made the subject of a book. The pictorial narrative of the Boer pioneers who conquered South Africa’s interior during the 'Great Trek' (1835-52) represents a crucial period of South Africa’s past. Conceptualising the frieze both reflected on and contributed to the country’s socio-political debates in the 1930s and 1940s when it was made. The book considers the active role the Monument played in the rise of Afrikaner nationalism and the development of apartheid, as well as its place in post-apartheid heritage. The frieze is unique in that it provides rare evidence of the complex processes followed in creating a major monument. Based on unpublished documents, drawings and models, these processes are unfolded step by step, from the earliest discussions of the purpose and content of the frieze, through all the stages of its design, to its shipping to post-war Italy to be copied into marble from Monte Altissimo, up to its final installation in the Monument. The book examines how visual representation transforms historical memory in what it chooses to recount, and the forms in which it is depicted. The second volume expands on the first, by investigating each of the twenty-seven scenes of the frieze in depth, providing new insights into not only the frieze, but also South Africa’s history. François van Schalkwyk of African Minds, co-publisher with De Gruyter writes: From Memory to Marble is an open access monograph in the true sense of the word. Both volumes of the digital version of the book are available in full and free of charge from the date of publication. This approach to publishing democratises access to the latest scholarly publications across the globe. At the same time, a book such as From Memory to Marble, with its unique and exquisite photographs of the frieze as well as its wealth of reproduced archival materials, demands reception of a more traditional kind, that is, on the printed page. For this reason, the book is likewise available in print as two separate volumes. The printed and digital books should not be seen as separate incarnations; each brings its own advantages, working together to extend the reach and utility of From Memory to Marble to a range of interested readers.
