Terrific Majesty: The Powers of Shaka Zulu and the Limits of Historical Invention
Carolyn Hamilton
Since his assassination in 1828, King Shaka Zulu has made his empire in popular imaginations throughout Africa and the West. Shaka is the hero of Zulu nationalism, the centerpiece of Inkatha ideology, a demon of apartheid, the namesake of a theme park, even the subject of a TV film. This book explores the reasons for the potency of Shaka's image.
