Maqoma: Xhosa Resistance to Colonial Advance

(Timothy J. Stapleton)

Published by Jonathan Ball, Johannesburg,South Africa (1994)

Slight shelfwear, sunning to spine. Internally bright and clean.

"Maqoma focuses on the most renowned Xhosa chief of South Africa's nineteenth century frontier wars. The verdict of colonial officials and historians has been that Maqoma was a drunken troublemaker and a volatile ruler. Here, Timothy J. Stapleton examines oral traditions and colonial and missionary documents, to reveal a man of considerable intellect who strove to maintain traditional social structures and Xhosa aristocracies; a leader of extraordinary tenacity, flexibility and political and martial skills, who tragically became the victim of an advancing colonial juggernaut.
