Yet the wisdom of the ages still resides with the Ausidi, the female, intergenerational knowledge-keepers who are revered for the central role they played in Rondevlei, Hardevlei and other communities on the Cape Flats before the forced removals from the 1960s onwards changed the landscape forever.The book delves into many of the untold stories of the Cape, challenging various scholarly assumptions about the origins and enduring influence of the Khoi and San in the languages and cultures of southern Africa. The meticulously well-researched text is also skilfully interwoven with stories from current and former residents of the Cape Flats who speak candidly about their childhood experiences, the vast expanses of plants and flowers that used to more than satisfy local communities' food and medicinal requirements, and the Ausidi - the formidable yet selfless family matriarchs, many of whom refused to be cowed by the apartheid regime's forced removal policy and fought to protect their cherished livestock and land." -- $c Publisher description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-298) and indexes. 650 0 $a Traditional ecological knowledge $z Cape of Good Hope. $z Cape of Good Hope. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $z Cape of Good Hope $z Cape of Good Hope $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $z Cape of Good Hope $z Cape of Good Hope $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Historiography $z Cape of Good Hope. $z Cape of Good Hope. 650 0 $a Intergenerational relations. 650 0 $a Khoikhoi (African people) $x History. 650 0 $a Xhosa (African people) $x History. 650 7 $a Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958221 650 7 $a Indigenous peoples $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970256 650 7 $a Indigenous peoples $x Social life and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970257 650 7 $a Intergenerational relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976251 650 7 $a Khoikhoi (African people) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00987213 650 7 $a Traditional ecological knowledge. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01153965 650 7 $a Xhosa (African people) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01182047 651 0 $a Cape of Good Hope (South Africa) $x History. 651 7 $a South Africa $z Cape of Good Hope. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01213442 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011342.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EAFB22B21DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
