ISBN: 9789004543744 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since the early nineteenth century, the things which Black South Africans have had in their homes have changed completely. They have adopted things like tables, chairs, knives, forks, spoons, plates, cups and saucers, iron pots, beds, blankets, European clothing, and later electronic apparatus. Thus they claimed modernity, respectability and political inclusion. This book is the first systematic analysis of this development. It argues that the desire to possess such goods formed a major part of the drive behind the anti-apartheid struggle, and that the demand to consume has significantly...

Status and Respectability in the Cape Colony, 1750-1870: A Tragedy of Manners
