Description
South African slavery differs from that in other frontier zones of European settlement in that the Dutch-speaking settlers captured and traded "indigenes" instead of importing outsiders. This volume demonstrates that slavery was widespread in South Africa until the end of the 19th century, that slaves were obtained through raids on African communities, and that slavery affected relations within and between Boer and African societies.

Description
Reveals the advances that have been made since the mid-1980s in the study of unfree labour in pre-industrial South Africa. The text demonstrates that slavery played a much larger role in the history of the 18th and 19th century Dutch frontiers than earlier historians had suspected.
