"Déclenchée dans un contexte de ruée vers l'or et le diamant, la guerre anglo-boer est singulière à bien des égards. Aux origines de l'Apartheid, elle oppose le puissant Empire britannique aux deux petites républiques boers. Ce conflit asymétrique, largement médiatisé, évolue très vite en guérilla. Camps de concentration, déplacements de population, terreur contre les civils, usage du gaz, famine : aucun moyen n'est épargné pour soumettre les descendants des premiers colons néerlandais d'Afrique du Sud. Dans ce livre couronné de prix, Martin Bossenbroek donne toute son ampleur à ce conflit inaugural des tragédies du XXe siècle et restitue, avec un réel talent littéraire, les espoirs et le désespoir de tous ceux qui ont pris part au conflit, combattants ou simples civils - voire les deux à la fois. Il met ses pas dans ceux de trois acteurs du conflit - le diplomate et juriste Hollandais William Leyds, au service de la république blanche du Transvaal, un correspondant de guerre britannique quelque peu remuant qui n'est autre que Winston Churchill et le jeune soldat boer Deneys Reitz - et suit au plus près leur destin pour livrer un récit aux allures d'épopée."--Quatrième de couverture.

The experience of the South African War sharpened the desire to commemorate for a number of reasons. An increasingly literate public, a burgeoning populist press, an army reinforced by waves of volunteers and, to contemporaries at least, a shockingly high death toll embedded the war firmly in the national consciousness. In addition, with the fallen buried far from home those left behind required other forms of commemoration. For these reasons, the South African War was an important moment of transition in commemorative practice and foreshadowed the rituals of remembrance that engulfed Britain in the aftermath of the Great War. This work provides the first comprehensive survey of the memorialisation process in Britain in the aftermath of the South African War. The approach goes beyond the simple deconstruction of memorial iconography and, instead, looks at the often tortuous and lengthy gestation of remembrance sites, from the formation of committees to the raising of finance and debates over form. In the process both Edwardian Britain's sense of self and the contested memory of the conflict in South Africa are thrown into relief. In the concluding sections of the book the focus falls on other forms of remembrance sites, namely the multi-volume histories produced by the War Office and The Times, and the seminal television documentaries of Kenneth Griffith. Once again the approach goes beyond simple textual deconstruction to place the sources firmly in their wider context by exploring both production and reception. By uncovering the themes and myths that underpinned these interpretations of the war, shifting patterns in how the war was represented and conceived are revealed.

This book examines the dark odyssey of official and private collective violence against the rural African population and Africans in general during the two generations before apartheid became the primary justification for the existence of the South African state. John Higginson discusses how Africans fought back against the entire spectrum of violence ranged against them, demonstrating just how contingent apartheid was on the struggle to hijack the future of the African majority.
