Cecil Rhodes had a distinct view on the ‘native question’, differing from imperial officials and missionaries.
Trooper Peter Halket of Mashonaland
The frontispiece of Olive Schreiner’s novel, Trooper Peter Halket of Mashonaland (1897), depicts a disturbing scene: three dead African men hanging from a tree, with Englishmen enjoying the spectacle.
It is hard to look at the frontispiece of the first edition of Olive Schreiner’s short novel Trooper Peter Halket of Mashonaland (1897).
The photograph was found by Samuel Cronwright, Schreiner’s husband, in a barber shop window in Kimberley, and was taken during the Ndebele rebellion in Southern Rhodesia.
Summary: Cecil Rhodes' ruthless views on the native question are highlighted through Olive Schreiner's novel.
