Kafir Socialism And The Dawn Of Individualism: An Introduction To The Study Of The Native Problem (1908)

By Dudley Kidd

Book Overview

Kafir Socialism and the Dawn of Individualism: An Introduction to the Study of the Native Problem is a book written by Dudley Kidd in 1908. The book is a study of the social and economic conditions of the indigenous people of South Africa, known as the Kafirs. Kidd argues that the Kafirs had a communal way of life that was threatened by the introduction of European capitalism and individualism. He explores the history of the Kafirs and their interactions with European settlers, as well as the impact of colonialism on their social and economic structures. The book also examines the role of religion in Kafir society and how it was affected by the introduction of Christianity. Kidd argues that the Kafirs were not inherently inferior to Europeans, but rather were victims of a system that favored individualism over communal values. He suggests that a solution to the ""native problem"" in South Africa would require a more equitable distribution of resources and a recognition of the value of communal life. Overall, Kafir Socialism and the Dawn of Individualism is an important historical text that sheds light on the complex social and economic dynamics of colonialism in South Africa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
