The Battle of Dithakong and 'Mfecane' Theory

Scope and Content
[Source - Henry Fagan for EMANDULO, 2021: A paper by Guy Hartley submitted for the Mfecane Aftermath conference held at University of the Witwatersrand in September in 1991. Hartley draws closely on evidence pertaining to the Battle of Dithakong to argue that Julian Cobbing's interpretation of the battle in his 'alibi' argument was contrived to allow for consistency with his overarching anti-Mfecane argument.]

[Source - Henry Fagan for EMANDULO, 2021: Written by Guy Hartley 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.
