The Great Treks

Viac o knihe

Exploring the complex narratives of South Africa's early 19th-century migrations, this book reexamines the Great Trek of Boer farmers and the Mfecane, a significant upheaval among Black populations. It challenges the traditional view that the Great Trek is the central event in South African history, advocating for a broader perspective that includes various movements and leaders. Through engaging anecdotes, it seeks to unify these distinct historical accounts, offering a fresh interpretation relevant to contemporary South Africa's identity and history.
