Cape of Torments, originally released in 1983, delves into the intricate and harrowing aspects of slavery in the Cape Colony of South Africa. The book provides a comprehensive examination of the slave's reactions to their oppressive conditions, focusing on the aspects of their lives that their masters deemed criminal, as well as the numerous instances of slaves fleeing in pursuit of a new life elsewhere. Through its exploration, the book sheds light on various facets of Cape society, including the slave organization, the complex interrelationships between slaves and other population groups at the Cape, such as the Khoisan, Xhosa, Sotho-Tswana, Dutch East India Company servants, and sailors, as well as the opportunities for escape and the significant uprisings and rebellions that occurred.
The central theme of Cape of Torments revolves around the remarkable ability of the Cape slaves to forge their own distinct culture, despite the oppressive circumstances they faced. The book explores the enduring legacy of slavery on their descendants in modern South Africa, highlighting the profound impact that this historical period has had on their lives and societies.
