Additional Information

The 15-year-old 'French boy' was wrecked on the Ciskei coast in 1687, and spent a year living in the household of a Xhosa chief.  The worlds of the Huguenot diaspora, the great days of Indian Ocean trading, the Cape's pivotal position in the struggle for mastery, and the awakening interest of the Dutch in the 'Terra de Natal' form a many-layered basis to this first full account of the Xhosa and their way of life since European settlement in South Africa began
