Description
by
Patric Tariq Mellet (Author)
The Lie of 1652 debunks the ’empty-land’ myth and claims of a ‘Bantu invasion’, while outlining 220 years of war and resistance. It recounts the history of migration to the Cape by Africans, Indians, Southeast Asians and Europeans, providing a provocative perspective on the de-Africanisation of local people of colour.
