""A magnificent achievement that changes much of what we think we know about southern African history."" - Isabel Hofmeyr, author of Dockside Reading: Hydrocolonialism and the Custom House ""Morafe is scholarly and fine-grained, yet written with brio and flair . . . there is nothing else like it!"" - Paul S. Landau, author of Spear: Mandela and the Revolutionaries ""This book is not only about the Molemas, or the history of Botswana and South Africa; it is also about the ways in which we become human and the stories we tell ourselves about that humanity, to prevent it from unravelling."" - Tara Weinberg Kronos: Southern African Histories
