The book title draws on a series of debates in South Africa aboutthe humanity of people of colour. In particular, it draws on a 17thcentury debate between two Dutch men (Jan van Riebeeck and Mathew Proot) regarding the humanity ofthe people of the Cape (Kaapmans [Dutch term for Khoisaninhabitants around Cape Town]) a debate which in the 21st centuryrages on, albeit in a different form. The pertinent question then was:What are the people of the Cape - Bastaards or Human? Are they godless savages as van Riebeeck believed or are they humans just like Europeans, as Proot argued?
