In this radical critique of established pre-colonial and colonial history, Mellet centres land dispossession, thedestruction of livelihoods and the brutality of slavery in South Africa.Drawing on scholarly work and his own experience of searching foridentity, Mellet provides a bold new perspective on the lossof land and belonging.Characters such as Autshumao, Krotoa and Doman come to life inthe story of the founding of a port at Cape Town – over 50 years beforeJan van Riebeeck arrived.
