{"product_id":"the-anatomy-of-a-south-mohamed-adhikari-9780821419878","title":"The Anatomy of a South African Genocide: The Extermination of the Cape San Peoples","description":"In 1998 David Kruiper, the leader of the +Khomani San who today live in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa, lamented, \"We have been made into nothing.\" His comment applies equally to the fate of all the hunter-gatherer societies of the Cape Colony who were destroyed by the impact of European colonialism. Until relatively recently, the extermination of the Cape San peoples has been treated as little more than a footnote to South African narratives of colonial conquest. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Dutch-speaking pastoralists who infiltrated the Cape interior dispossessed its aboriginal inhabitants. In response to indigenous resistance, colonists formed mounted militia units known as commandos with the express purpose of destroying San bands. This ensured the virtual extinction of the Cape San peoples. In The Anatomy of a South African Genocide, Mohamed Adhikari examines the history of the San and persuasively presents the annihilation of Cape San society as genocide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mohamed Adhikari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0821419870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821419878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 32","brand":"Mohamed Adhikari","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992503288063,"sku":"9780821419878","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_671baf21-2177-482c-9e14-fb9cb384aba2.jpg?v=1683319294","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-anatomy-of-a-south-mohamed-adhikari-9780821419878","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
