To the Fairest Cape

Beginning by considering the early hunter-gatherer inhabitants of the Cape of Good Hope and their culture, Malcolm Jack focuses in his account on the encounter that European visitors had with the Khoisan peoples, sometimes sympathetic but often exploitative from the time of the Portuguese to the abolition of slavery in the British Empire.

Incepand cu luarea in considerare a primilor locuitori ai vanatorilor-culegatori din Capul Bunei Sperante si a culturii lor, Malcolm Jack se concentreaza in relatarea sa asupra intalnirii pe care vizitatorii europeni au avut-o cu popoarele Khoisan, uneori simpatica, dar deseori exploatatoare de pe vremea portughezilor pana la abolirea sclaviei in Imperiul Britanic.
