About the Book

This anthology is a collection of rich material about Botswana from David Livingstone in the 1850sto President Ian Khama today. The anthology is divided into three parts, the Years of Danger 1852 to 1885, the Protectorate Period 1885 to 1966 and the Independent State 1966 to 2009. It is neither a comprehensive history nor a record of the key documents during those years. But it does seek to give the reader a feel for the country and a better understanding of those three well defined periods. The very varied material has been drawn from a wide range of sources. It includes extracts, some longer, some very short, from published books and newspapers, from unpublished letters, court judgments, and speeches. Each item has been selected because of its intrinsic value and interest. By using the comments of people, both local and foreign, the Anthology provides a balanced record of some of the events and personalities of those 157 years. Its underlying and unambiguous intention is to open doors which may previously have been closed, to inform, to excite, and with luck, entertain and perhaps even surprise.

About the Author :
Sandy Grant has an M.A. in History from Cambridge University and an M.Sc. in the Conservation of the Built Environment from Herriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. He arrived in Botswana in late 1963 and has been involved in 'development' at both local and national levels, and with refugee needs. From this experience came an understanding of the need to ground the present in the past which, in turn, led to his establishment of a well regarded, multi-faceted museum in Mochudi. He contributes a weekly article on heritage for a local newspaper, has written magazine/journal articles on aspects of heritage and now seeks to take this concern to a different level. He is a Botswana citizen and holder of a Presidential Honour award. Apart from his involvement with humanitarian programmes, he has been a long standing newspaper columnist, a Commissioner of Elections (1997-2005), and an Independent Parliamentary candidate (1984). His previous publications have been Decorated Homes in Botswana (with his wife Elinah), Etcetera (1991-1997) - being a selection of essays from his newspaper column; People of Mochudi, and Mochudi Around the Time of Independence. He has also edited and published Sheila Bagnall's Letters from Botswana. He has been a part time lecturer at the University of Botswana and at Limkokwing (Gaborone) where he pioneered a new course on the history of building in Botswana.
