Ewing (James Ewing) 1820 1898 Ritchie, James Ewing Crayon, Christopher Imperialism in South Africa Transcribed from the 1879 James Clarke & Co. edition by David Price "Imperialism in South Africa" by J. Ewing Ritchie is a historical account written in the late 19th century, particularly around the time of British imperial expansion in South Africa. The book provides a critical examination of British imperial policies and actions in the region, particularly regarding the annexation of territories such as the Transvaal and the relationships with indigenous populations, including the Boers and the native tribes. In this work, Ritchie discusses the conflicts arising from British imperial ambitions, highlighting the complex interplay between colonialists and local populations. He explores themes such as the violence of the Kaffir Wars, the discontent of the Boer settlers toward British rule, and the moral implications of annexation policies. The author argues that British actions were often unjust and detrimental, both to the local populations and to the stability of the colonies themselves. Through historical examples and personal anecdotes from travelers and colonists, Ritchie critiques the imperialist attitude that disregarded the rights and wishes of the Boer communities and native tribes, suggesting that peace could have been achieved through mutual respect and coexistence rather than conquest.
