Portrait of a Slave Society - The Cape of Good Hope, 1717-1795 (Hardcover)

In this book, based on primary and secondary published sources, the available information on Cape slavery during the eighteenth century is placed in the wider context of Dutch colonial society during this period. The result, which is a sequel to Schoeman’s Early slavery at the Cape of Good Hope, is probably the fullest and most detailed survey of the subject to date.
