Publisher Description

The Cape and The Kaffirs: A Diary of Five Years' Residence in Kaffirland is a priceless book written by one of the renowned authors “Harriet Ward”. With the help of a perfectly curated book, the author elaborates on the personal experiences she faced during the whole journey of five years spent in Kaffirland (a historical signature term used to denote and address the region of southern Africa). The story of the book is written in a diary style that explains and explores the precious narratives of Ward’s observation interaction and reflection of orthodox culture, daily life and customs of the people living in the region. It perfectly spots the light on the serious challenges and complexities of the living standards in the region of Kaffirland during the early 19th century. Along with this, the book also offers a pure glance at the social, economic and political arrangement and dynamics of that particular period. Ward’s style of writing has made a valuable commitment to providing powerful insights into the historical context of the region. Readers will get a superb explanation and perspective of colonial life in South Africa in the very first read.
