Set in the larger context of colonialism at the end of the 19th century, this fascinating account overturns many previously held assumptions and conclusions. Arguing that British views on poverty, poor relief, and the management of colonial societies all shaped administration, this social history also attempts to explain why the camps were so badly administered in the first place and why reform was so slow suggesting that divided responsibility, ignorance, political opportunism, and a failure to understand the needs of such institutions all played a part. 0aMedical carezSouth AfricaxHistory. 0aConcentration campszSouth AfricaxHistory. 0aWarxHistory. 0aRefugeesxHistory. 0aSouth African War, 1899-1902xConcentration camps. 0aSouth African War, 1899-1902xParticipation, Black. 0aSouth African War, 1899-1902xPrisoners and prisons.12aConcentration Campsxhistory.22aDelivery of Health Carexhistory.22aRefugeesxhistory.22aWarfare. 7aBurenkrieg2gnd 7aInternierungslager2gnd 7aKonzentrationslager2gnd 0aSouth Africa. 2aSouth Africa.423Contributor biographical informationuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1403/2012526436-b.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1403/2012526436-d.html
