The Chains That Bind Us - History of Slavery at the Cape (Paperback)

Through careful selection of images, documents and other sources, "The Chains that Bind Us" seeks to present the voices and experiences of slaves themselves as well as slave owners. The book aims to help students understand the human experiences of slavery and how history is written and researched. The book includes: diverse primary sources of information - photographs, paintings, documents, extracts from oral interviews, printed sources and maps; a context-setting narrative which provides the essential background information needed to interpret the sources; activities to help students analyse the sources and construct their own arguments. The Chains that Bind Us, and other books in this series, will allow students to explore selected topics in depth. The Chains that Bind Us is the first book in Juta's Explorations in History series.
