Abstract:
This book joins the growing body of work (much of it by South African scholars) displacing the many mind-numbingly dull texts loaded with assumptions and logics that, in the case of South Africa, reify a simplified colonial explanation of the past. What is absolutely necessary is a fundamental reform of the very way in which history is taught in South Africa.
