Scope and Content
[Source - Henry Fagan for FHYA, 2021: A paper by Andrew Manson submitted for the Mfecane Aftermath conference held at University of the Witwatersrand in September in 1991. The paper argued that pressures emanating from the western Highveld region should not be overlooked when considering explanations for transformations in African society during the period of the Difaqane. He argued for a broader perspective of the period that is neither Eurocentric nor Afrocentric.]

[Source - Henry Fagan for FHYA, 2021: Written by Andrew Manson 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. Uploaded by Benathi Marufu for EMANDULO in September 2021.]
