At the inaugural meeting in 1932 of the South African Inter-University Committee on African Studies a sub-committee was appointed to review the state of ethnographic work, and to plan a programme of future research. Of the four initial projects planned by the sub-committee one was a study of the Pedi. This work was to be undertaken by Dr. W.W.M. Eiselen, one of the most promising of South African anthropologists who, born and brought up among the Pedi as the son of a missionary in Sekhukhuneland, was ideally equipped for the work. Unfortunately Dr. Eiselen could not complete this task since he soon left his academic post to embark on a career in the Public Service. This left a gap in South African ethnographic literature which has never been filled; all other major ethnic groups in South Africa have been well documented by basic descriptive works. For a number of reasons it was felt that this gap had to be filled, and in this book the author hopes to offer a reasonably full and accurate ethnography of the Pedi.
This book covers the decades spanning two fundamental refashionings of the relations of power in South Africa: the upheavals of the difaqane in the 1820s, and the aggressive British imperialism of the 1870s.

She left everything behind and risked not only her life, but also the lives of her two small children to escape from Vietnam after the Fall of Saigon. In the middle of the night, Charlie—along with her husband, two toddlers and two young sisters—joined 100 other people on a tiny boat and fled their home country. The journey was long and dangerous, but after almost two years in refugee camps, the family finally made it to America. After emigrating, as many Vietnamese refugee women did, Charlie began working in the booming nail industry. When her path crossed with Olivett, an African American woman, they became business partners—and built an empire together. After only a few years in the US, Charlie was a millionaire and living the American dream. Her tale is one of tragedy and triumph—a true rags to riches story that will amaze and inspire readers from all walks of life.

The vast majority of books on the Zulus concentrate on their stunning victory at Isandlwana over the invading British Army and the tragedy of their subsequent defeat during the Anglo-Zulu Wars.??By tracing the long and turbulent history of the Zulus from their arrival in South Africa, where they were not indigenous as were the Koi and San population, and the establishment of Zululand, The Tribe that Washed its Spears is an important and readable addition to this popular subject area. It describes the violent rise of King Shaka and his colourful successors under whose leadership the warrior nation built a fearsome fighting reputation without equal among the native tribes of South Africa. It also examines the tactics and weapons employed during the numerous inter-tribal battles over this period. They then became victims of their own success in that their defeat of the Boers in 1877 and 1878 in the Sekunini War prompted the well-documented British intervention.??Initially the might of the British empire was humbled as never before by the shock Zulu victory at Isandlwana but the 1879 war ended with the brutal crushing of the Zulu Nation. But, as Dr Greaves reveals, this was by no means the end of the story. The little known consequences of the division of Zululand, the Boer War and the 1906 Zulu Rebellion are analysed in fascinating detail.??An added attraction for readers is that this long awaited history is written not just by a much published leading authority but, thanks to the co-author’s contribution, from the Zulu perspective using much completely fresh material.??As reviewed in the 'Ashford Herald', 'Folkestone Herald' and 'Hythe Herald'
This work offers the first one-volume comprehensive military history of modern South Africa. A Military History of South Africa: From the Dutch-Khoi Wars to the End of Apartheid represents the first comprehensive military history of South Africa from the beginning of European colonization in the Cape during the 1650s to the current postapartheid republic.
