Rogues, rebels and runaways
€19,00
The dissolute Cape Town beer brewer, Willem Menssink, whose ‘fatal passion’ for a young slave woman brought about his downfall; Carel Buijtendag, the ‘beast of the Bokkeveld’; and Estienne Barbier, the quixotic champion of the oppressed and leader of a rebellion against the VOC government: these, as well as an assortment of runaway slaves and Company deserters, are some of the lesser-known characters from the eighteenth-century Dutch Cape whom the historian Nigel Penn has brought to life in a series of hugely enjoyable and historically revealing stories. Dr Nigel Penn, who lectures in the Department of History at the University of Cape Town, has researched widely in the history of the eighteenth-century Cape.
