Beskrivning
This book examines the dark odyssey of official and private collective violence against the rural African population and Africans in general during the two generations before apartheid became the primary justification for the existence of the South African state. John Higginson discusses how Africans fought back against the entire spectrum of violence ranged against them, demonstrating just how contingent apartheid was on the struggle to hijack the future of the African majority.

Recensioner i media

'From the epochal devastation of the South African War to the tyrannies of neo-fascists, Collective Violence and the Agrarian Origins of South African Apartheid, 1900–1948 explores the role of violence in the making of white supremacy. Higginson guides us through the transformation of South Africa's rural worlds, the anxieties and turmoil that consumed people's lives, and the violence that has profoundly shaped the country's history. Richly researched and closely argued, this timely book is an important reminder of a not-too-distant past, and of the troubling violence in South Africa today.' Clifton Crais, Emory University, Atlanta
