This is the first full-length study of the political economy of one of the African states which were formed in the course of the nineteenth-century Zulu revolution.

The later chapters analyse the role played by the great mining companies and their white concessionaires in the partition of southern Africa and in bringing about the dissolution of the Swazi state.
