Eight essays on the movements and beliefs which emerged during the early stages of capitalism in the settler societies of South Africa, Namibia, and Kenya. Garveyites discover an agrarian following in Hereroland, which ICU leaders buld a movement among South African farm workers. Administrators and ideologues of the ruling order try to stem the development of black proletarianization by imposing on Africans a psuedo-tribal identity. Popular responses to settler domination are complex, finding inspiration both in pre-colonial communal cultures and in the class dynamics of industrial societies.
