Much has been written of the drawing of the Africans of Natal into the white settler economy. The destructive effects, however, of that process on the African homestead economy in the reserves, on privately-owned land and on mission stations is analyzed in this text. This book, concerning dispossession and disintegration, is topical in view of the current importance of the landownership question.

From the Back Cover

Betrayed Trust is the first close, scholarly examination of African homestead society in Natal during the colonial period. Carefully researched and dispassionately written, it is an account of dispossession - and of what dispossession meant in real terms. John Lambert has added a very important dimension to the history of this region. In delineating the wider implications of land deprivation, he has provided vital background to the emotionally charged question of land redistribution.
