Scope and Content
[Source - Henry Fagan for EMANDULO, 2021: A paper by John Omer-Cooper submitted for the Mfecane Aftermath conference held at University of the Witwatersrand in September in 1991. The paper defends the concept of the Mfecane as Omer-Cooper had outlined it in his 1966 book The Zulu Aftermath, in so doing disputing Julian Cobbing's 'alibi' argument's critiques.]

[Source - Henry Fagan for EMANDULO, 2021: Written by John Omer-Cooper ahead of the Mfecane Aftermath conference in September 1991. Copies were printed and distributed for the conference's attendees, including Jan-Bart Gewald. The paper remained in Gewald's possession after the conference. C. 2014, he donated it along with all of the other Mfecane Aftermath conference papers to Leiden University Library. In 2021, Gewald's deposit of Mfecane Aftermath conference papers was uncovered by Ettore Morelli of FHYA. Following a request by FHYA, the papers were digitised by Leiden University Libraries for use in the FHYA's Spotlight on the Mfecane presentation.
