Book excerpt: Keegan disagrees with historians who see the origins of the racial state in the mineral revolution, and finds it instead in the early British rule up to the 1850s when the Cape was integrated into the trading empire. Synthesizing and reinterpreting an array of primary material, he discusses such events as the emancipation of slaves, the 1820 arrival of British settlers, a series of frontier wars, and the Great Trek of the Boers.
