Book excerpt: The Indian problem in Natal is in one sense a small matter; it concerns about a quarter of a million persons set in a large and under-populated country. But it has become so entwined with racial prejudices, so interwoven with international considerations, so much the centre of complicated interlocking interests and sentiments that many good judges declare it to be insoluble. Further, the circumstances which led to the introduction of Indians to Natal and the conditions on which the Indian and British governments sanctioned their coming are so generally unknown that still more obscurity is cast on the whole subject, and arguments totally unjustifiable if all the facts were known are yet the common coin of party politics.

This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positions the history and inner workings of the Natal Indian Congress (NIC) against the canvas of the major political developments in South Africa during the 1970s and 1980s up to the first democratic elections in 1994 Following a hiatus in the 1960s, the Natal Indian Congress (NIC) in South Africa was revived in 1971. In fascinating detail, Ashwin Desai and Goolam Vahed bring the inner workings of the NIC to life against the canvas of major political developments in South Africa during the 1970s and 1980s, and up to the first democratic elections in 1994. The NIC was relaunched during the rise of the Black Consciousness Movement, which attracted a following among Indian university students, and whose invocation of Indians as Black led to a major debate about ethnic organisations such as the NIC. This debate persisted in the 1980s with the rise of the United Democratic Front and its commitment to non-racialism. The NIC was central to other major debates of the period, most significantly the lines drawn between boycotting and participating in government-created structures such as the Tri-Cameral Parliament. Despite threats of banning and incarceration, the NIC kept attracting recruits who encouraged the development of community organisations, such as students radicalised by the 1980s education boycotts and civic protests. Colour, Class and Community, The Natal Indian Congress, 1971—1994 details how some members of the NIC played dual roles, as members of a legal organisation and as allies of the African National Congress’ underground armed struggle. Drawing on varied sources, including oral interviews, newspaper reports, and minutes of organisational meetings, this in-depth study tells a largely untold history, challenging existing narratives around Indian ‘cabalism’, and bringing the African and Indian political story into present debates about race, class and nation.

Book excerpt: "These scholarly essays break new ground in the study of Indian indentured labour, the role of labour migration in economic development and the history of Natal. The collection includes M. D. North-Coombes well-documented comparison between the role of indentured labour in the sugar industries in Natal and Mauritius, Maureen Swan's study of worker accomodation and resistance to the conditions of indenture, Jo Beall's investigation of the double oppression of women under the system, and Surendra and Arvinkumar Bhana's exploration of the abnormally high rates of suicide amongst indentured workers. But these migrant workers are never seen merely as faceless victims of an oppressive system. Their acts of resistance are charted and their individual stories flesh out the Bhana's and Beall's essays, and in Rajend Mestrie's study of language contact and change and J. B. Brain's essay on the contract between Hindus, Muslims and Christian missionaries we have further reminders that these migrants brought not only their labour power but the strength of their cultural resources"--Page 4 of cover.

Book excerpt: Many were filled with hopes as high as the stars as they crossed the Indian Ocean, making their way from India to Durban in southern Africa in the late 1800s. Yet, realising the dream of a better life and returning home triumphant was not to be for many. Thousands returned with less than they had started out with, only to find that home was no longer the place they had left. The travellers, too, had changed irrevocably: caste had been transgressed, relatives had died and spaces for reintegration had closed up as colonialism tightened its grip. Home for these wandering exiles was no more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Shanti is a heroine that the reader will not easily forget. The story that is told here is worth not only knowing but also remembering." – Siphiwe Gloria Ndlovu, author, filmmaker and academic Vividly set against the backdrop of 19th century India and the British-owned sugarcane plantations of Natal, written with great tenderness and lyricism, Children of Sugarcane paints an intimate and wrenching picture of indenture told from a woman's perspective. Shanti, a bright teenager stifled by life in rural India and facing an arranged marriage, dreams that South Africa is an opportunity to start afresh. The Colony of Natal is where Shanti believes she can escape the poverty, caste, and troubling fate of young girls in her village. Months later, after a harrowing sea voyage, she arrives in Natal only to discover the profound hardship and slave labour that await her. Spanning four decades and two continents, Children of Sugarcane demonstrates the lifegiving power of love, heartache, and the indestructible bonds between family and friends. These bonds prompt heroism and sacrifice, the final act of which leads to Shanti's redemption.
