About the Book

This volume contributes rich, new material to provide insights into indigenous responses to the colonial empires of Great Britain (South Africa, Swaziland, Botswana, Zimbabwe (Rhodesia)) and Germany (Namibia) and explore the complex intellectual, cultural, literary, and political borders and identities that emerged across these spaces. Contributors include distinguished global scholars in the field as well as exciting young scholars. The essays link global-national-local forces in history by analysing how indigenous elites not only interacted with colonial empires to absorb, adapt and re-cast new ideas, forms of discourse, and social formations, but also networked with “ordinary” people to forge new social, ethnic, and political identities and viable social forces. Translated and other primary texts in appendices add to the insights.

Review :
"In sum, all the contributions provide stimulating and impressive accounts of the variety and complexity of indigenous responses to colonial contact and subjugation. [...] The volume goes further in debunking the simplistic dichotomies that characterised earlier writing on African reaction to conquest (collaborator/resister, modernist/traditionalist, etc.) and rejects some of the fashionable assumptions of the so-called Africanist and revisionist schools of historiography. In all, Grappling with the Beast is both timely and will no doubt further stimulate the unexpected but growing tide of interest in colonial and imperial history." - Andrew Manson, North-West University, Mafikeng, South African Historical Journal, 2012, 64:4, pp. 882-883 [DOI:10.1080/02582473.2012.708507]
