Drawing on evidence from several disciplines, it chronicles how cattle raiders were created, pursued, and controlled, and how modern scholarship strives to reconstruct pasts of disruption and deviance. Through a series of vignettes, Rachel King uses excavated material, rock art, archival texts, and object collections to explore different facets of how disorderly figures were shaped through impressions of places and material culture as much as actual transgression. Addressing themes from mobility to wilderness, historiography to violence, resistance to development, King details the world that raiders made over the last two centuries in southern Africa while also critiquing scholars' tools for describing this world. Offering inter-disciplinary perspectives on the past in Africa's southernmost mountains, this book grapples with conceptsrelevant to those interested in rule-breakers and rule-makers, both in Africa and the wider world. 410 0$aCambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies,$x2635-1641 606 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory 606 $aImperialism 606 $aSocial history 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aEthnology$zAfrica 606 $aCulture 606 $aHistory of Sub-Saharan Africa 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 606 $aSocial History 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aAfrican Culture 615 0$aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aHistory of Sub-Saharan Africa. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aArchaeology. 615 24$aAfrican Culture. 676 $a960 676 $a364.10968 700 $aKing$b Rachel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01187467 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483704203321 996 $aOutlaws, Anxiety, and Disorder in Southern Africa$92849350 997 $aUNINA
