This book provides an innovative and in-depth analysis of the emergence of a racially divided society in pre-industrial Southern Africa. It centers on an exploration of the past of the Eastern Cape, a region of decisive importance in Southern African history. Colonial land and labor policies that had their origin in the Eastern Cape spread into much of British Southern and Eastern Africa and as far away as the White Highlands of Kenya. In the modern era the Eastern Cape has been the cradle of African nationalism in South Africa. Clifton Crais moves beyond the liberal and Marxist approaches that have dominated South African history by bringing questions of culture to the center of his analysis.

White Supremacy and Black Resistance in Pre-Industrial South Africa
Page i
White Supremacy and Black Resistance provides an innovative and in-depth analysis of the emergence of a racially divided society in pre-industrial Southern Africa. The book centres on an exploration of the past of the Eastern Cape, a region of decisive importance in Southern African history. Colonial land and labour policies which had their origin in the creation of a colonial order in the Eastern Cape spread into much of British Southern and Eastern Africa and as far away as the White Highlands of Kenya. In the modern era the Eastern Cape has been the cradle of African nationalism in South Africa.
The book thus explores a central question in Southern African history: how did a relatively small number of Europeans come to dominate the indigenous peoples, and how did they reproduce relations of colonial domination in daily social practice and at the level of ideology and the state? The author begins by investigating the creation of social boundaries and identities in the pre-colonial era and the early colonization of the Eastern Cape by Dutch-speaking colonists during the eighteenth century. He continues with a detailed study of the impact of British colonial policy, the role of cross-cultural trade and evangelical Christianity, the abolition of slavery and peonage, capitalist development, the state, and the creation of a racist ideology on the part of white settlers.
Central to the work is an examination of the ways in which Africans struggled against a colonization of the land and the mind. White Supremacy and Black Resistance explores the manifold forms of resistance in the Eastern Cape, from theft and armed struggle, to the great millenarian Cattle-Killing of 18567 when the Xhosa employed the full weight of the past in a profound rejection of an oppressive present.
This pioneering study moves beyond the liberal and marxist approaches that have long dominated South African history by bringing questions of culture and identity to the centre of historical analysis.
