Abstract
The article "Violence in Rural South Africa, 1880-1963" by Sean Redding in the International Journal of African Historical Studies explores the dynamics of family, community, and political violence in the Eastern Cape. Redding examines how violence was perceived and utilized in different contexts, from faction fighting to witchcraft accusations, and how it evolved over time, culminating in a national turn to violence in the 1950s and 1960s. The author argues that rural violence was a result of social navigation in response to economic, social, and political conditions created by colonial and apartheid policies, shedding light on the intentional and strategic responses of Africans to transformations in rural life.
