{"product_id":"mfecane-aftermath-carolyn-hamilton-9781868142521","title":"Mfecane Aftermath: Reconstructive Debates in Southern African History","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe idea that the period of social turbulence in the nineteenth century was a consequence of the emergence of the powerful Zulu kingdom under Shaka has been written about extensively as a central episode of southern African history. \u003cbr\u003eConsiderable dynamic debate has focused on the idea that this period - the 'mfecane'- left much of the interior depopulated, thereby justifying white occupation. One view is that 'the time of troubles' owed more to the Delagoa Bay Slave trade and the demands of the labour-hungry Cape colonists than to Shaka's empire building. But is there sufficient evidence to support the argument?\u003cbr\u003eThe Mfecane Aftermath investigates the very nature of historical debate and examines the uncertain foundations of much of the previous historiography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolyn Hamilton, Thomas Dowson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1868142523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781868142521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wits University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.80w x 1.00d","brand":"Carolyn Hamilton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978728866047,"sku":"9781868142521","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61b36502-393d-4721-bdb7-c05028fac518.jpg?v=1683242796","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mfecane-aftermath-carolyn-hamilton-9781868142521","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
