{"product_id":"abraham-esaus-war-bill-nasson-9780521530590","title":"Abraham Esau's War: A Black South African War in the Cape, 1899 1902","description":"The South African War 1899-1902 is no longer treated as 'a white man's war' by historians. Black South Africans were drawn into service by both sides, and the war affected the black communities in a variety of complex ways. Dr Nasson has written a closely focused regional study of the conflict in the Cape Colony, describing the dramatic participation of black people in the conduct of the war, and their subsequent exclusion from the fruits of peace. (The Abraham Esau, of the title, a patriotic coloured artisan, was murdered by Boer guerrillas.) Dr Nasson sets the conflict in the context of Cape political culture and social life at the turn of the century. This is a major contribution to South African and Imperial history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Nasson,Nasson Bill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521530598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521530590\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.12w x 0.67d","brand":"Bill Nasson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443507966207,"sku":"9780521530590","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1097f56-55ce-4176-b25f-7602fefd290e.jpg?v=1777205953","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abraham-esaus-war-bill-nasson-9780521530590","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
