A New History. Since the 1960s the history of Natal & Zululand has been dramatically revised and this book reflects that explosion of research activity. The contributors demolish several popular myths in trying to unravel the truth about such key issues as the origin of the Nguni-speaking peoples, the growth of the Zulu kingdom, and the interaction of African and settler societies. They have used new techniques of historical detection, questioned deeply held orthodoxies, and taken into consideration hitherto neglected or underestimated factors such as the impact of environmental disaster, disease and economic trends.
