Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park History

  ukhahlamba drakensberg park history: Tracks in a Mountain Range John Britten Wright, Aron D. Mazel, 2007 Since the arrival of literate European settlers in what is now KwaZulu-Natal in the second quarter of the nineteenth century, numerous stories about the Drakensberg region have made their way into print. But for every story which happens to have been written down, there are many others which have not, and which are therefore unavailable to us in our aim of wanting to establish a modern-day understanding of the history of the Drakensberg. This applies especially to the stories told by the unlettered San hunter-gatherers and their forebears during the several thousand years for which they inhabited these mountains, and by the isiNtu-speaking black farmers who have lived in the neighboring uplands for the past thousand years or so. But it also applies to the unwritten stories told by European colonizers and their descendants over the last century and a half. The declaration of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park as a World Heritage Site provided an occasion for reflecting on the history and people of the region, from the earliest known times to the present. Constructed from archaeological and written sources, this book highlights the histories of the indigenous San hunter-gatherers and black farmers, as well as of the European colonisers. The accessible text is complemented by photographs of the landscape, rock art and archaeological finds.
  ukhahlamba drakensberg park history: History of Namibia Marion Wallace, 2014-01-16 In 1990 Namibia gained its independence after a decades-long struggle against South African rule--and, before that, against German colonialism. This book, the first new scholarly general history of Namibia in two decades, provides a fresh synthesis of these events, and of the much longer pre-colonial period. A History of Namibia opens with a chapter by John Kinahan covering the evidence of human activity in Namibia from the earliest times to the nineteenth century, and for the first time making a synthesis of current archaeological research widely available to non-specialists. In subsequent chapters, Marion Wallace weaves together the most up-to-date academic research (in English and German) on Namibian history, from the mid-eighteenth century to the present. She explores histories of migration, production and power in the pre-colonial period, the changes triggered by European expansion, and the dynamics of the period of formal colonialism. The coverage of German rule includes a full chapter on the genocide of 1904-8. Here, Wallace outlines the history and historiography of the wars fought in central and southern Namibia, and the subsequent mass imprisonment of defeated Africans in concentration camps. The final two chapters analyse the period of African nationalism, apartheid and war between 1946 and 1990. The book's conclusion looks briefly at the development of Namibia in the two decades since independence. A History of Namibia provides an invaluable introduction and reference source to the past of a country that is often neglected, despite its significance in the history of the region and, indeed, for that of European colonialism and international relations. It makes accessible the latest research on the country, illuminates current controversies, puts forward new insights, and suggests future directions for research. The book's extensive bibliography adds to its usefulness for scholar and general reader alike.

  ukhahlamba drakensberg park history: The History of South Africa Roger B. Beck, 2013-11-12 South Africa's history stretches back to the beginnings of human existence. This book provides an overview to South Africa's multiple millennia of history, covering its long and often troubled past to its current status in the 21st century. A newly revised and thoroughly updated version of a popular Greenwood publication, The History of South Africa: Second Edition provides readers with readable, accessible information on the nation's prehistory, early history and colonial past, its unfortunate apartheid era, as well as new coverage of South Africa's more recent events in the 20th and 21st centuries. This work presents unique, extended coverage of South Africa's prehistory, beginning 3.5 million years ago and incorporating information gleaned from the most recent archaeological finds. The text reflects the most current historiography on African settlement and life before the arrival of Europeans, accurately describes the colonial era as a period of European hegemony and intense African resistance, and discusses in great detail the apartheid years and the events leading up to majority rule in 1994. This second edition also includes an updated timeline, new biographical sketches of notable people, and supplies recent print and electronic resources in the bibliography.

Richard Schweitzer is an experienced historian. It was really a turning point in his life when the white man from Germany stumbled upon few unknown facts about the so called Dark Continent – Africa. Richard Schweitzer went on to enlist interesting facts and history of this “cradle of civilization”. This is an interesting collection of facts and figures which make us realize that the Dark Continent was so called by this name, not due to any lack of development, but our own perception of the same. This book would shed light on the bright aspects of this continent and how much it has contributed to the growth, development and spread of civilization to all nooks and corners of the globe. This book is an attempt to share this newly discovered knowledge with the world.

  ukhahlamba drakensberg park history: San Rock Art J.D. Lewis-Williams, 2013-02-15 San rock paintings, scattered over the range of southern Africa, are considered by many to be the very earliest examples of representational art. There are as many as 15,000 known rock art sites, created over the course of thousands of years up until the nineteenth century. There are possibly just as many still awaiting discovery. Taking as his starting point the magnificent Linton panel in the Iziko-South African Museum in Cape Town, J. D. Lewis-Williams examines the artistic and cultural significance of rock art and how this art sheds light on how San image-makers conceived their world. It also details the European encounter with rock art as well as the contentious European interaction with the artists’ descendants, the contemporary San people.

  ukhahlamba drakensberg park history: Connectivity Conservation Management Graeme L. Worboys, Wendy L. Francis, Michael Lockwood, 2010-02-09 In an era of climate change, deforestation and massive habitat loss, we can no longer rely on parks and protected areas as isolated 'islands of wilderness' to conserve and protect vital biodiversity. Increasing connections are being considered and made between protected areas and 'connectivity' thinking has started to expand to the regional and even the continental scale to match the challenges of conserving biodiversity in the face of global environmental change. This groundbreaking book is the first guide to connectivity conservation management at local, regional and continental scales. Written by leading conservation and protected area management specialists under the auspices of the World Commission on Protected Areas of IUCN, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, this guide brings together a decade and a half of practice and covers all aspects of connectivity planning and management The book establishes a context for managing connectivity conservation and identifies large scale naturally interconnected areas as critical strategic and adaptive responses to climate change. The second section presents 25 rich and varied case studies from six of the eight biogeographic realms of Earth, including the Cape Floristic Region of Africa, the Maloti-Drakensberg Mountains, the Australian Alps to Atherton Corridor, and the Sacred Himalayan Landscape connectivity area (featuring Mount Everest.) The remarkable 3200 kilometre long Yellowstone to Yukon corridor of Canada and the United States of America is described in detail. The third section introduces a model for managing connectivity areas, shaped by input from IUCN workshops held in 2006 and 2008 and additional research. The final chapter identifies broad guidelines that need to be considered in undertaking connectivity conservation management prior to reinforcing the importance and urgency of this work. This handbook is a must have for all professionals in protected area management, conservation, land management and resource management from the field through senior management and policy. It is also an ideal reference for students and academics in geography, protected area management and from across the environmental and natural sciences, social sciences and landuse planning. Published with Wilburforce Foundation, WWF, ICIMOD, IUCN, WCPA, Australian Alps and The Nature Conservancy.
  ukhahlamba drakensberg park history: Nature Conservation in Southern Africa , 2018-11-26 Nature conservation in southern Africa has always been characterised by an interplay between Capital, specific understandings of Morality, and forms of Militarism, that are all dependent upon the shared subservience and marginalization of animals and certain groups of people in society. Although the subjectivity of people has been rendered visible in earlier publications on histories of conservation in southern Africa, the subjectivity of animals is hardly ever seriously considered or explicitly dealt with. In this edited volume the subjectivity and sentience of animals is explicitly included. The contributors argue that the shared human and animal marginalisation and agency in nature conservation in southern Africa (and beyond) could and should be further explored under the label of ‘sentient conservation’. Contributors are Malcolm Draper, Vupenyu Dzingirai, Jan-Bart Gewald, Michael Glover, Paul Hebinck, Tariro Kamuti, Lindiwe Mangwanya, Albert Manhamo, Dhoya Snijders, Marja Spierenburg, Sandra Swart, Harry Wels.
  ukhahlamba drakensberg park history: Echoes of Africa’s Past. Archaeological explorations in the Anthropocene Savino di Lernia, 2025-05-30 Marking the 70th anniversary of the Libyan-Italian archaeological Mission in the Tadrart Acacus and Messak, this volume offers a multidisciplinary reflection on Africa’s deep past and its enduring legacies in the Anthropocene. By tracing the echoes of human-environment interactions across time, it highlights how archaeological research continues to reshape our understanding of adaptation, resilience, and transformation in African societies. Drawing on interdisciplinary approaches — including palaeoecology, bioarchaeology, rock art analysis, the archaeology of food production, and their various connections and networks — this book challenges outdated, Eurocentric narratives by foregrounding African agency and complexity. Key themes include – among others – the Holocene environmental changes that influenced settlement patterns, the significance of rock art in interpreting past belief systems, and the impact of colonial trade and imperial expansion on indigenous communities. Echoes of Africa’s Past serves as a resource for archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, and heritage scholars, offering fresh perspectives on Africa’s dynamic past and its relevance to debates on sustainability and cultural heritage in the Anthropocene. «Archaeological knowledge is incremental and hard won. It is assembled through time-intensive study of fragmentary evidence and its corpus represents intergenerational effort. Though sometimes based on the study of stones, our interpretations are not written in them. Our working hypotheses typically run ahead of the evidence needed to assess them. Expanded investigations, new methods and changing premises compel revision and sometimes outright rejection of earlier ideas. Typological aids deemed useful by earlier generations may outlive their usefulness, at the same time as the evidence they organize remains pertinent and available for rethinking. The cumulative character of archaeological knowledge enables scalar perspectives across space and through time, casting what we know of one location in relief through comparison to others. These revisions, rethinkings and scalar reflections encourage us to appreciate the complexity and diversity of past contexts, as amply illustrated in contributions to this volume. In short, resuscitating echoes of Anthropocene Africa is painstaking work. In this way and others, archaeology is — and should be — slow science». Ann B. Stahl, University of Victoria, BC, Canada
  ukhahlamba drakensberg park history: Stuarts’ Field Guide to National Parks & Nature Reserves of SA Chris Stuart, 2018-01-01 Stuarts’ Field Guide to National Parks and Nature Reserves of South Africa is an indispensable guide to the country’s best and most accessible conservation areas. Written by two prominent conservationists, this new edition (with a slight name change) has been thoroughly revised and updated. The 43 featured reserves are arranged by province.

  ukhahlamba drakensberg park history: Open-Air Rock-Art Conservation and Management Timothy Darvill, Antonio Batarda Fernandes, 2014-06-20 While much has been achieved in understanding and managing weather effects and erosion phenomena affecting ancient imagery within the relatively protected environments of caves and rock-shelters, the same cannot be said of rock-art panels situated in the open-air. Despite the fact that the number of known sites has risen dramatically in recent decades there are few examples in which the weathering and erosion dynamics are under investigation with a view to developing proposals to mitigate the impact of natural and cultural processes. Most of the work being done in different parts of the world appears to be ad-hoc, with minimal communication on such matters between teams and with the wider archaeological community. This richly illustrated book evaluates rock-art conservation in an holistic way, bringing together researchers from across the world to share experiences of work in progress or recently completed. The chapters focus on a series of key themes: documentation projects and resource assessments; the identification and impact assessment of weathering/erosion processes at work in open-air rock-art sites; the practicalities of potential or implemented conservation interventions; experimentation and monitoring programs; and general management issues connected with public presentation and the demands of ongoing research investigations. Consideration is given to the conservation of open-air rock-art imagery from many periods and cultural traditions across the Old and New Worlds. This timely volume will be of interest to conservators, managers, and researchers dealing with aesthetic and ethical issues as well as technical and practical matters regarding the conservation of open-air rock-art sites.
  ukhahlamba drakensberg park history: Cultural Heritage and Tourism in Africa Dallen J. Timothy, 2023-03-13 Cultural Heritage and Tourism in Africa examines the multiple and diverse manifestations of cultural heritage-based tourism in Africa from a regional, social science, and sustainability perspective. This book delivers a comprehensive treatise on the interdependent concepts of cultural heritage and tourism. Heritage is one of the most pervasive tourism assets worldwide and lies at the foundations of tourism in many localities, including Africa. However, despite its salience, there has not been a systematic examination of Africa’s heritage resources, markets, policies, practices, successes, and challenges in a tourism framework, despite the continent’s immense heritage value. This book reviews the different types of heritages that pervade the cultural environment of Africa and comprises its vast heritagescapes. It also examines the increasing potential for the growth of heritage tourism throughout the entire continent. The contributions in this volume delve into current thinking about space and place and their effects on heritage, mobilities, globalization, colonialism and indigeneity, conflict, identity and nation-building, connections with other regions through migration and the slave trade, and a greater emphasis on the ordinary heritage of Africa, which has long been ignored by tourism scholars and industry representatives. The chapters herein are authored by Africa specialists, most being from Africa, offering a truly African perspective. The chapters are conceptually rigorous and empirically rich with examples from all regions of the African continent. This unparalleled interdisciplinary glimpse at cultural heritage and tourism in Africa delivers strong value and is a vital resource for all students and researchers of tourism, cultural studies, heritage studies, geography, anthropology, sociology, history, and global studies.

  ukhahlamba drakensberg park history: The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology and Anthropology of Rock Art Bruno David, Ian J. McNiven, 2018-10-17 Rock art is one of the most visible and geographically widespread of cultural expressions, and it spans much of the period of our species' existence. Rock art also provides rare and often unique insights into the minds and visually creative capacities of our ancestors and how selected rock outcrops with distinctive images were used to construct symbolic landscapes and shape worldviews. Equally important, rock art is often central to the expression of and engagement with spiritual entities and forces, and in all these dimensions it signals the diversity of cultural practices, across place and through time. Over the past 150 years, archaeologists have studied ancient arts on rock surfaces, both out in the open and within caves and rock shelters, and social anthropologists have revealed how people today use art in their daily lives. The Oxford Handbook of the Archaeology and Anthropology of Rock Art showcases examples of such research from around the world and across a broad range of cultural contexts, giving a sense of the art's regional variability, its antiquity, and how it is meaningful to people in the recent past and today - including how we have ourselves tended to make sense of the art of others, replete with our own preconceptions. It reviews past, present, and emerging theoretical approaches to rock art investigation and presents new, cutting-edge methods of rock art analysis for the student and professional researcher alike.
  ukhahlamba drakensberg park history: Tales of the Most Treacherous Mountain Ranges Sharr MD, 2025-04-23 This book takes readers on a breathtaking journey through the world’s most mysterious and dangerous mountain ranges. From the towering Himalayas to the ancient Andes, the rugged Rockies to the iconic Alps, it explores the natural beauty, legends, and dangers hidden in these majestic formations. Each range has its own unique story—shaped by ancient civilizations, dramatic weather, and diverse ecosystems. The book reveals how mountains have served as both obstacles and inspirations throughout human history, influencing cultures, myths, and scientific discovery. It also dives into lesser-known ranges like the Western Ghats and the Urals, uncovering their secrets and cultural richness. Mountains are presented not only as geographical features but as powerful symbols of endurance, challenge, and mystery. Through vivid storytelling, the book celebrates the spirit of exploration, the resilience of people living in high-altitude regions, and the urgent need to respect and preserve these fragile environments. It’s a tribute to nature’s grandeur and human curiosity.
  ukhahlamba drakensberg park history: Archaeologies of Us and Them Charlotta Hillerdal, Anna Karlström, Carl-Gösta Ojala, 2017-02-17 Archaeologies of “Us” and “Them” explores the concept of indigeneity within the field of archaeology and heritage and in particular examines the shifts in power that occur when ‘we’ define ‘the other’ by categorizing ‘them’ as indigenous. Recognizing the complex and shifting distinctions between indigenous and non-indigenous pasts and presents, this volume gives a nuanced analysis of the underlying definitions, concepts and ethics associated with this field in order to explore Indigenous archaeology as a theoretical, ethical and political concept. Indigenous archaeology is an increasingly important topic discussed worldwide, and as such critical analyses must be applied to debates which are often surrounded by political correctness and consensus views. Drawing on an international range of global case studies, this timely and sensitive collection significantly contributes to the development of archaeological critical theory.
