Zestig jaar na het einde van de kolonisering van Congo woedt heviger dan ooit de polemiek over de koloniale en pre-koloniale erfenis.

The other Zulus : the spread of Zulu ethnicity in colonial South Africa
Michael R. Mahoney
Duke University Press, 2012
ISBN 9780822353096
In 1879, the British colony of Natal invaded the neighboring Zulu kingdom. Large numbers of Natal Africans fought with the British against the Zulus. Less than thirty years later, in 1906, many of those same Natal Africans, and their descendants, rebelled against the British in the name of the Zulu king. The Other Zulus, a thorough history of Zulu ethnicity during the colonial period, shows that the lower classes of Natal, rather than its elites, initiated the transformation in ethnic self-identification.
