Description

This scholarly work traces the history of Basotho migrants in colonial Zimbabwe, examining how a small Christianised community navigated identity politics and social integration under colonial rule. Focusing on the Basotho evangelists who worked for the Dutch Reformed Church, the book explores the strategies employed by minority ethnic groups to maintain their distinct language, community farm and religious identity whilst negotiating belonging in a complex colonial society. Through detailed analysis of freehold land ownership, religious practice and shared heritage, the author illuminates how the Basotho sustained their particularism and agency during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Part of the Eastern Africa Series, this volume contributes to broader understandings of African resilience, ethnic identity and the human dimensions of colonialism in Southern Africa.
