The settlement was created by the British to use the Khoekhoe as a living barrier between the Cape Colony and the amaXhosa. It was fought over with some regularity, however, and finally broken up after some of the Khoekhoe joined the amaXhosa in their war against the colony. Nevertheless, in the time that the settlement existed, the Khoekhoe both created a fertile landscape in the valley and developed a political theology of great importance for the evolution of South Africa. They were also the subjects of - and participants in - the major debates leading to the introduction of a liberal constitution for the Cape in 1853. The history of the settlement is thus crucial in understanding the development of both colonial racism and the creation of the colony's non-racial democracy.African studies series ;128.Xhosa (African people)South AfricaKat River ValleyHistoryKhoikhoi (African people)South AfricaKat River ValleyHistoryKat River Valley (South Africa)HistoryKat River Valley (South Africa)Race relationsPolitical aspectsSouth AfricaHistoryFrontier Wars, 1811-1878Xhosa (African people)History.Khoikhoi (African people)History.968.755042Ross Robert1949 July 26-792081UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910825014403321The borders of race in colonial South Africa4106656UNINA
