Synopsis & Historical Significance

Published by the Anglo-Boer War Museum in 2012, An Illustrated History of Black South Africans in the Anglo-Boer War 1899–1902 is a vital revisionist text. It formally documents the deep involvement, sacrifices, and experiences of Black South Africans during the conflict.

Often sidelined in traditional military historiography, tens of thousands of Black individuals served as scouts, agterryers, laborers, and armed combatants, while thousands more suffered in segregated British concentration camps. Through photographic evidence and newly unshaded archival accounts, this monograph presents an objective, visual window into a vital, long-ignored chapter of Southern African history.

The text represents a collaborative institutional project by Johan van Zyl, Rodney Constantine, and Tokkie Pretorius, all respected curators, researchers, and military historians linked to the War Museum in Bloemfontein. Their collective access to private museum repositories and primary photo archives ensured the highest degree of academic fidelity for this groundbreaking publication.
