The culture of failure: racism, violence and white farming in colonial Swaziland

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
In Swaziland, the quality and intensity of racism was intimately connected to the changing material circumstances of the colonial economy and struggles between colonized and colonizer. The A. analyses the cultural and political implications of the failure of white farming in colonial Swaziland before 1940. The paper traces the genealogy of the British vision of a white Swaziland, the material conditions that compromised and subverted the implementation of that vision, and the intersection of both.
