Acknowledgements

This book would not have been possible without the generous support of many individuals and institutions. For financial support, my thanks are due to the Academic and Non-Fiction Authors’ Association of South Africa (ANFASA) and the Johannesburg Institute for Advanced Study (JIAS).

I am equally grateful to the Wits University Press team, particularly Roshan Cader and Kirsten Perkins. I would like also to thank Alison Lockhart who proficiently managed this book project. I owe a special debt to my editor, Monica Seeber, who addressed the manuscript with perspicacity and professionalism.

A shorter and somewhat different version of chapter 7 appeared in the journal Social Dynamics in 2020. Thanks to the publisher Taylor and Francis for permission to reuse the article.

I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Jimi Adesina, who not only introduced me to African scholarship when I was an undergraduate student, but also supervised both my Master’s and doctoral theses.

I must express my gratitude to Sifiso Mxolisi Ndlovu for advice and assistance at various stages of preparing the manuscript. I am grateful also to Michael Cross and Bongani Ngqulunga. I cannot forget to thank Patrick Mlangeni who drew the pre-colonial map of the Great Lakes region that appears in this book.

Naturally, all remaining errors in this book are entirely my own.
