In this period Southern Africa experienced three significant transformations. First, there was the growth of a largely British presence in the region. Secondly, there were the very violent conflicts between the native peoples and the Boer expansionists. Finally, there was the British drive for hegemony, the emergence of the mining sector, and the creation of the South African apartheid state. The course ends with an examination of non-white responses to the growth of these factors.
