More about the book

Focusing on the interplay between objects, landscapes, and architecture, this book examines how colonial southern Africa shaped perceptions of outlaws and disorder. Through interdisciplinary evidence, including excavated materials and archival texts, it chronicles the creation and control of cattle raiders, highlighting themes of mobility, violence, and resistance. Rachel King critiques scholarly approaches to understanding these figures and their environments, offering insights relevant to both African history and broader discussions of rule-breakers and rule-makers.
