Dutch, British, French, Danes and Swedes formed an endless stream of seafarers who made the long journey southwards in pursuit of wealth, adventure, science, and missionary, as well as outright national, interest. Beginning by considering the early hunter-gatherer inhabitants of the Cape and their culture, Malcolm Jack focusses in his account on the encounter that the European visitors had with the Khoisan peoples, sometimes sympathetic but often exploitative from the time of the Portuguese to the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833. This commercial and colonial background is key to understanding the development of the vibrant city that is modern Cape Town, as well as the rich diversity of the Cape hinterland"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Chronology -- Ancient and mythical place -- Adamastor's reign -- Paradise lost -- Enlightenment visitors -- Ennobling the savage -- Paradise regained -- A call for freedom 651 0 $a Cape of Good Hope (South Africa) $x History. 650 0 $a Europeans $z Cape of Good Hope $z Cape of Good Hope $x History. 650 0 $a Khoisan (African people) 651 0 $a South Africa $x Race relations. 650 7 $a Europeans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916820 650 7 $a Khoisan (African people) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00987226 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 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 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210023400.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103015942.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5B00DEB4F79311E8BA923B1497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
