Status and Respectability in the Cape Colony, 1750-1870: A Tragedy of Manners
ISBN: 9780521621229 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This compelling example of the new cultural history of South Africa is a subtle and wide-ranging study of status and respectability in the colonial Cape.

The result is a rich account of changes in social identity that accompanied the transition from Dutch to British overrule, and the development of white racism and ideologies of resistance to white domination.
