{"product_id":"the-great-treks-norman-etherington-9780582315679","title":"The Great Treks: The Transformation of Southern Africa 1815-1854","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe mass migration of the Boer farmers from Cape Colony to escape British domination in 1835-36 - the Great Trek - has always been a potent icon of Africaaner nationalism and identity. For African nationalists, the Mfecane - the vast movement of the Black populations in the interior following the emergence of a new Zulu kingdom as a major military force in the early 19th century - offers an equally powerful symbol of the making of a nation. With their parallel visions of populations on the move to establish new states, these two stories became part of divided South Africa's separate mythologies, treated as unconnected events taking place in separate universes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor the first time, in this groundbreaking book, accounts of both migrations are brought together and examined. In uniting these separate visions of African and Afrikaaner history, Norman Etherington provides a fascinating picture of a major turning point in South African history, and points the way for future work on the period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norman Etherington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0582315670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780582315679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.34w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2002 pg. 40","brand":"Norman Etherington","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896443298047,"sku":"9780582315679","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc765700-9979-4c5b-886b-6b7d2c99593c.jpg?v=1721371418","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-treks-norman-etherington-9780582315679","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
