Paperback. Condition: New. From roughly 1818 to 1867, Faku was ruler of the Mpondo Kingdom located in what is now the north-east section of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Because of Faku's legacy, the Mpondo Kingdom became the last African state in Southern Africa to fall under colonial rule. When his father died, Faku inherited his power. In a period of intense raiding, migration and state formation, he transformed the Mpondo polity from a loosely organized constellation of tributary groups to a centralized and populous state with effective military capabilities and a prosperous agricultural foundation. In 1830, Faku allowed Wesleyan missionaries to establish a station within his kingdom and they became his main channel of communication with the Cape Colony, and later Natal. Ironically, he never showed any serious inclination to convert to Christianity. From the 1840s to early 1850s, this Mpondo king played a central, yet often understated, role in the British colonization of South Africa. While over the years his territory and power declined, Faku remained quite astute in diplomatic negotiations with colonial officials and used his missionary connections to optimum advantage. Timothy J. Stapleton's narrative and use of oral history paint a clear and remarkable portrait of Faku and how he was able to manipulate missionaries, neighbours, colonists and circumstances to achieve his objectives. As a result, Faku: Rulership and Colonialism in the Mpondo Kingdom (c.1780-1867) helps illuminate the history of the entire Cape region.…

"Without question Maqoma was the most renowned Xhosa chief of South Africa's 19th-century frontier wars. But was he a drunken troublemaker and an erratic and volatile ruler? That was the verdict of colonial officials and three generations of historians - but both oral traditions and colonial and missionary documents paint a very different picture. They reveal a man of considerable intellect and eloquence, striving to maintain traditional social structures and the power of the Xhosa aristocracy in the face of colonial depredations and dispossession. . Imprisoned on Robben Island for 12 years, Maqoma was paroled in 1869. When he attempted to resettle on his stolen land, however, he was rebanished to the infamous island prison, where he died under mysterious circumstances in 1873. And yet his name lives on. In vivid prose the author records the evidence of living oral traditions - gathered from descendants scattered throughout the Border region - that support the documentary testimony to a leader of extraordinary tenacity, flexibility and political and martial skills, who tragically became the victim of an advancing colonial juggernaut.".…
