Betrayed Trust - Africans and the State in Colonial Natal (Paperback)

Betrayed Trust is the first close, scholarly examination of African homestead society in Natal during the colonial period. Carefully researched and dispassionately written, it is an account of dispossession - and of what dispossession meant in real terms. John Lambert has added a very important dimension to the history of this region. In delineating the wider implications of land deprivation, he has provided vital background to the emotionally charged question of land redistribution.
