The last 500 years represent a strikingly unexplored and misrepresented period in southern Africa’s past. In this period key cultural contours of the sub-continent took shape, while in a jagged and uneven fashion some of the featuresof modern identities emerged. Enormous internal economic innovation and political experimentation was taking place at the same time as expanding European mercantile forces started to press upon southern African shores andits hinterlands. This suggests that interaction, flux and mixing were a strong feature of the period, rather than the homogeneity and fixity proposed in standard historical and archaeological writings. This book represents the first stepby a group of archaeologists and historians to collectively reframe and re-examine the last 500 years, and to challenge current thinking about the region’s expanding internal and colonial frontiers.
