One view is that 'the time of troubles' owed more to the Delagoa Bay Slave trade and the demands of the labour-hungry Cape colonists than to Shaka's empire building. But is there sufficient evidence to support the argument?\u003cbr\u003eThe Mfecane Aftermath investigates the very nature of historical debate and examines the uncertain foundations of much of the previous historiography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarolyn Hamilton\u003c\/b\u003e is NRF Chair in Archive and Public Culture at the University of Cape Town.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 512\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9.4 x 6.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 1995\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47284846854393,"sku":"9781868142521","price":85.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/QVU4d2xzeWkzaXVmYTE2aURac2NoQT09.webp?v=1769092258","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/mfecane-aftermath-reconstructive-debates-in-southern-african-history-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
