from Part II - Empire-Building and State Domination
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 June 2023
White people have all too often stereotyped African leaders as bloodthirsty and barbarous, and none more than the Zulu kings. Nevertheless, a substantial body of reliable evidence and the consensus judgement of historians shows that, in the early 1800s, the Zulu kings Shaka and Dingane perpetrated the widespread of killing of innocent civilians as they tried to establish and maintain the Zulu kingdom. It is the contention of this chapter that these killings fit the definition of genocide under international law. However, today the Zulu people include the descendants of both perpetrators and victims of this genocide, and memories of this violence are suppressed or minimized. Despite this history of genocide, Zulu unity has proved to be a popular tool in the fight against colonialism and apartheid.
