Produktbeschreibung
Native races and the war is a historical account addressing the complex issues surrounding the treatment of native populations in South Africa under British and Boer governance. The work provides a voice for the oppressed by collecting testimonies from witnesses, including indigenous leaders, to expose the injustices they face. The opening sets up a detailed examination of colonial power dynamics and the plight of local communities, beginning with an apology for adding yet another discourse on the South African question. The author argues that any lasting peace must be founded on justice for all racial groups. The historical backdrop includes the abolition of slavery and treaties that once promised protection and rights to the native people. Through the testimonies and appeals presented, the work emphasizes the profound disappointment and disillusionment of these communities, who feel betrayed by political shifts and broken promises from the British government. This introduction creates a sense of urgency and ethical responsibility toward indigenous populations and establishes the critical tone that guides the rest of the text.
Autorenporträt
Josephine Elizabeth Grey Butler was an English feminist and social reformer active during the Victorian era, renowned for her tireless advocacy on behalf of women s rights. Born to John Grey and Hannah Eliza Annette, she grew up in a politically aware family that deeply influenced her sense of justice. Butler focused her efforts on critical issues such as women s suffrage, improved access to education for women, and the dismantling of the legal doctrine of coverture, which placed married women under the authority of their husbands. She became particularly known for her passionate opposition to the Contagious Diseases Acts, which targeted women under the guise of public health and subjected them to invasive examinations. Butler s activism extended to efforts on behalf of marginalized groups, including prostitutes and victims of human trafficking, as she worked tirelessly to improve legal protections and societal attitudes. Her writings and speeches reflected a deep moral conviction and unwavering commitment to human dignity, earning her a prominent place in the social reform movements of her time. Throughout her life, Butler balanced public campaigning with personal challenges, including the loss of a child, which further shaped her compassionate approach to reform.
