Abstract
This thesis studies the modern historiography of Khoisan resistance through a discussion of five selected authors. It outlines the main theses of these authors and offers conceptual and methodological critique. The thesis also describes concepts of Khoisan oral tradition, which are used as a basis for the conceptual critique of the historiography. In the light of the critique, an attempt is made to develop new hypotheses and g eneralizations about Khoisan resistance. Finally, the conclusion draws out the relevance of this work for both history and society in South Africa.
