Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the recent past the region now known as KwaZulu-Natal has developed a reputation for violent political contestation. A century ago, it was the Zulu who were considered to be the example of a martial race, par excellence. This book examines two hundred years of the region's history and develops an analysis of the region which goes beyond images of war and violence. The people of the region are situated within its political economy. The authors show how important social, political and economic distinctions emerged and how these shaped the identities of the region's inhabitants.
