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. 410 0$aAfrican studies series ;$v128. 606 $aXhosa (African people)$zSouth Africa$zKat River Valley$xHistory 606 $aKhoikhoi (African people)$zSouth Africa$zKat River Valley$xHistory 607 $aKat River Valley (South Africa)$xHistory 607 $aKat River Valley (South Africa)$xRace relations$xPolitical aspects 607 $aSouth Africa$xHistory$yFrontier Wars, 1811-1878 615 0$aXhosa (African people)$xHistory. 615 0$aKhoikhoi (African people)$xHistory. 676 $a968.755042 700 $aRoss$b Robert$f1949 July 26-$0792081 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825014403321 996 $aThe borders of race in colonial South Africa$94106656 997 $aUNINA
