Foreword (Native Life in South Africa electronic text):
Sol Plaatje began work on `Native Life in South Africa' in 1914,
while on his way to Britain to plead with the Imperial Government
against the Natives' Land Act of 1913, as part of a deputation
of the South African Native National Congress. The book was intended
as a means of reaching the British public with the deputation's message.
The method seemed sound enough -- it was quite similar in form
to the successful deputation which had pleaded to keep Bechuanaland
