Produktbeschreibung
The Attempted Erasure of the Khoekhoe and San delves into the complex issue of problematic coloured identity and the ongoing erasure of the Khoekhoe and San people in South Africa. Despite the end of apartheid, this erasure continues to persist today, starting as far back as 1652. There were two types of erasure that took place - genocide and bureaucratic. While the former is acknowledged by President Thabo Mbeki in his "I Am an African" speech, the latter began in 1828 with Ordinance 50 in the Cape Colony. From this point, the Khoekhoe and San were bureaucratically erased, culminating in the 1950 Population Registration Act. Despite these attempts, the Khoekhoe and San people resisted and fought for their identity, resulting in their continued existence in the present day. This book documents their painful journey, highlighting their struggles against subjugation and erasure since 1652.

Autorenporträt
Jacob Cloete is a filmmaker, researcher and entrepreneur. Born and raised in a small town called Bitterfontein in South Africa, Jacob developed his love for writing and film. He bought his first camera while he was a South African Defence Force soldier in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and since then never looked back.He attended the University of the Western Cape (UWC), where he graduated with his PhD in Political Science. His work feeds into a growing global scholarship on the politics of belonging, reflected in South Africa's xenophobic response and Europe's anti-immigration and anti-refugee policies. His post-doctoral work focuses on the Khoekhoe, San and the problematic 'coloured' identity in South Africa.
