Book Synopsis
What was it like to be a slave in colonial South Africa? What difference did freedom make? John Edwin Mason presents complex answers after delving into the slaves' experience within the slaveholding patriarchal household, primarily during the period from 1820 to 1850.

Trade Review
Social Death and Resurrection is the authoritative study of the last phase of Cape slavery, when it was undergoing profound transformation under the influence of Britain's 'ameliotation' policy. Mason ranks among the very best writers of the rising generation of South Africa historians. - Richard Elphick, Wesleyan University, coauthor of The Shaping of South African Society, 1652-1840
