Native Races And The War (1900)

By Josephine Butler

Book Overview

""Native Races And The War"" is a historical book written by Josephine Elizabeth Grey Butler and published in 1900. The book explores the impact of the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) on the native races of South Africa. Butler, a British feminist and social reformer, was a passionate advocate for the rights of women and children, and she became involved in the anti-slavery movement in South Africa. In this book, she examines the effects of the war on the indigenous peoples of the region, including the Khoisan, Bantu, and other tribes. Butler argues that the war had a devastating impact on these communities, resulting in the displacement, starvation, and death of many people. She also highlights the role of British imperialism in exacerbating these problems and calls for greater attention to be paid to the needs and rights of native peoples. The book is a powerful critique of colonialism and an important historical document that sheds light on the complex and often tragic history of South Africa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may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.
