Anatomy of a South African Genocide, The
The extermination of the Cape San peoples
M ADHIKARI
During the 18th and 19th centuries, Dutch-speaking pastoralists who infiltrated the Cape interior dispossessed its aboriginal inhabitants and damaged the environment with their destructive farming and hunting practices. In response to indigenous resistance colonists formed armed, mounted militia units known as commandos with the express purpose of destroying San bands. This ensured the virtual extinction of the Cape San peoples. In 1998 David Kruiper, the leader of the ≠Khomani San who today live in the Kalahari Desert, lamented ‘... we have been made into nothing’. The author argues that their fate amounted to genocide because there was clear intent to eradicate San society which, as a result of settler violence, was no longer able to reproduce itself biologically or culturally. This book explores the history of the genocide and its modern outcome.

From prohibited immigrants to citizens
The origins of citizenship and nationality in South Africa
J KLAAREN
Blending legal and social history, the author argues that distinctively South African notions of citizenship and nationality date from the period 1897–1937, through legislation and official practices employing the key concept of ‘prohibited immigrant’ and seeking to regulate the mobility of three population groups: African, Asian and European. Further, he makes the case that the regulation and administration of immigrants from the Indian sub-continent, in particular, provided the basis for the vision and eventual reality of a unified, although structurally unequal, South African population.
