House of Tshatshu, The
Power, politics and chiefs west of the Kei, 1828-2017
A MAGER & J PHIKO VELELO
Chieftaincies are resurging in South Africa after having been disbanded in colonial times, among them the amaTshatshu of the Eastern Cape. In tracing their history this book explores the meaning of chieftainship and the ways in which power is constructed. It is also about gender and land, about belonging, identity and naming. The book unsettles accounts of chiefly authority, unpacks conflicts between royal families, municipalities and government departments, and explores the impasse created by these quarrels. It draws the disempowered back into the process of making history.
