[pynchonoid]

[...] Of the books on Cape slavery it is
probably the best.  I can only recommend that anyone
interested
either in the history of the Cape, with its deeper
extensions into
later periods of South African history, or in the
comparative study
of slavery and emancipation, should read and digest
this work. [...]
