Researches in South Africa: Illustrating the Civil, Moral, and Religious Condition of the Native Tribes, Vol. I

John Philip, 1828

Summary

Dr John Philip, superintendent of the London Missionary Society in South Africa, documented conditions of Khoikhoi and frontier communities in this landmark advocacy work. His arguments directly contributed to Ordinance 50 of 1828 — one of the first anti-discrimination laws at the Cape. A foundational text for understanding colonial-era rights debates.
