Hidden Histories of Gordonia: Land dispossession and resistance in the Northern Cape, 1800-1990

By (author): Martin Legassick. The Gordonia region of the Northern Cape Province has received relatively little attention from historians. Martin Legassick explores aspects of the generally unknown "brown" and "black" history of the region. Emphasising the lives of ordinary people, his writing is also in part an exercise in "applied history" - historical writing with a direct application to people's lives in the present.
