Reconsidering the History of South African Journalism: The Ghost of the Slave Press: Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Africa
Autor Gawie Botmaen Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 mar 2025
This book dives into the history of slavery at the Cape between 1800 and 1838, reflecting on the fact that several founding journalists and printers were slave owners themselves and advertised slaves as regular “property” in their publications. The book presents an inclusive history of the founding of colonial newspapers and magazines, driven by the question how we in the 21st century should make sense of the role that newspapers and journalism played at key points in the history of slavery and its aftermath. The ‘slave press’ was a label originally attached to The Cape Town Gazette and African Advertiser when it was founded by a pair of well-connected private British slave traders. This book challenges us to confront the ghost of the slave press, and to consider the complicated history of press freedom in South Africa.
This important book will be of interest to scholars and students of journalism and media history, in South Africa and beyond.
