by Frederick Courteney Selous
On This Page
Description
Frederick Courteney Selous provides a historical account of the events in Matabeleland during the native insurrection leading up to the disbandment of the Bulawayo Field Force. The narrative combines personal experiences with factual reporting of skirmishes between colonists and natives. Selous offers insights into the causes of the rebellion, attributing it to the natives' dissatisfaction with their status as a conquered people and the removal of the police force. He defends the show more administration of the Chartered Company against allegations of systematic brutality towards the natives, arguing that grievances mainly arose from the loss of independence and labor regulations. The book serves an audience interested in African history and colonial affairs, aiming to provide an objective recount of these events. show lessTags
