About 2000 years ago it was found that the Khoikhoi also known as the Hottentots originate in South Africa. This was many years before the first British settlers even set foot on African soil. The Khoikhoi was the first people that come in contact with the Dutch people.
The 1820 settlers came to South Africa for various reasons and opportunities. It is known that the first British settlers of 1820 arrived in South- Africa after the Napoleonic wars and Britain had experienced serious unemployment problems. The first settlers arrived in Table Bay on 17 March 1820. They have arrived on a board, the Nautilus and the Chapman. After their arrival these settlers where sent from the Cape Colony to Algoa Bay, that is today known as Port-Elizabeth. These immigrants were encouraged by Lord Charels Somerset, who was appointed in 1814 as the governor of the frontier areas (Eastern Cape). It was then found that Lord Somerset set his proposal in action for three alternative

For example the Khoikhoi are today known as the Hottentos, because the British found the word Khoikhoi difficult to pronounce. This shows the step by step change that the incoming of the British brought upon the indigenous people. The word/name Khoikhoi refers to the meaning of “men of men” or “the real people”.For the San the settlers used the term Bushmen. This was only the beginning of the changes that the Dutch has brought onto the indigenous languages. Before the settlers arrived in the Cape, the official language of the Cape was Dutch. In 1822 English was declared the official language of the Cape Colony. It is also most obvious that all the communities were not equally formed. The impact on the indigenous people had also continued in the sense that the Dutch had taken over the land and farms of the Khoikhoi and they were also driven out, exterminated, or enslaved. The number of people that was enslaved grew as the years
The Pilgrims crossed the Atlantic Ocean. After getting blown far off course, they sailed around Cape Cod and found a protected part of the coast. They settled in a place they named Plymouth. There they created the Plymouth Bay Colony. Many more Puritans followed. English colonists in 1630 established the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The governor of the colony was John Winthrop. He declared that the new colony would be a “city upon a hill.” He hoped the colony would be a model of holy Christian life for the rest of the world.

Commonly referred to as Bushmen by the general public and thought of as being harsh wild people that live in the “unlivable” Kalahari Desert. The Ju /’hoansi tribe native to the southern African desert, located along the border of Namibia and Botswana, have been misunderstood and stereotyped for a long time. This is until a man by the name of Richard B. Lee came along and wrote an ethnography about the local systems of the Ju and completely changed how an outsider might view this rural tribe, along with being a fine example of proper long-term field research in social anthropology. This highly regarded book on the Ju /’hoansi is titled “The Dobe Ju /’hoansi.” Although Lee states in the
The first settlers in New England were a group of people referred to as the Pilgrims. They first arrived on the Mayflower and landed at what would become the Massachusetts colony in 1620. They named the spot where they landed at Plymouth, after the port they had left behind in England. They had plenty of food to eat and were also freely able to practice their religion without being bothered by anyone else.
Meet Shoshana Hebshi; an American citizen, mother of two, and victim of racial profiling. Hebshi is fighting against the injustice done to her, but what exactly is racial profiling and how is it still around today? Racial profiling is more specific than racism in general. The term “racial profiling” refers to a government agency specifically targeting people who fall under certain demographics (“Racial Profiling: Definition”, n.d.).Shoshana’s situation shows racial profiling in action, government policymakers are influenced by racial profiling, and how the policymakers create or change policies.
During World War 2, Kahoʻolawe was used as a training ground and bombing range by the Army. After decades of protests, the U.S Navy ended live-fire training exercises on Kahoʻolawe in 1990, and the whole island was transferred to the jurisdiction of the State of Hawaii in 1994. The KIRC(Kaho’olawe Island Reserve Commission) is now taking care of Kaho’olawe and its island.Sometime around the year 1000, Kahoʻolawe was settled by Polynesians, and small, temporary fishing communities were established along the coast. While it is not known how many people inhabited Kahoʻolawe, the lack of freshwater, probably limited the population to a few hundred people. Also, Kahoʻolawe became a men's penal colony sometime around 1830. Food and water were scarce,

In the 1830s, the British Government began to look to South Africa for the abundant gold and diamond in the area, as well as, with the hopes of gaining control of the most strategic port and route to trade with India. The British acted quickly, and started to take control of the cape of South Africa. In 1833, they emancipated the Afrikaners’ slaves, created more taxes, and auctioned off previously communal land. This caused great rage within the Boer community. The Boers were Dutch and Huguenot people that migrated to South Africa in the late 17th century (Great Trek). Starting in 1835, the Boers left their homeland with the goal of starting a new life free from British rule. The majority of the migrants left from the Eastern frontier of South
Dutch farmers, called Boers, began to slowly settle in South Africa. They were attracted to South Africa because there was a lot of land on which they could establish farms. The Boers
The Greek period, ca. 900-30 BCE, was famous for its developed ideals of human beauty, the concept of ideal heroic male nudes and what they depict, and progression from symbolic works to naturalism. Using the discussion of the following artworks, the (Anavysos)Kouros, the Kritios Boy and the Spear Bearer (Doryphoros), I will discuss their symbolic and naturalistic characteristics.
Throughout the 19th century, after Great Britain conquered the Cape of Good Hope in 1814 and expanded its territory in Southern Africa, there was tension between the British settlers and the Dutch-descended population which were called Afrikaners or Boers. This resulted in the Afrikaner migration called the Great Trek, which was from 1835 to 1843, and the establishment of the Afrikaner republics. These republics were called Natal, Orange Free State, and the South African Republic. Natal became a British colony in 1843, but the Transvaal
Around 1652, the Dutch East India Company created a settlement on the cape, leading to several other indigenous peoples settling in the area as well . This tactic nearly parallels with the colonization beginning throughout the rest of the world. White supremacy gradually took over South Africa as more and more of them colonized the country, and worked their way into government positions. The English pushed the natives out and eventually did not care about race, merely about the money that came from labor . The Land Act of 1913, was believed to be the initial beginning of the apartheid laws. This act initiated by white supremacists marked the first major downfall of segregation for the colored and Indian peoples of South Africa. The Afrikans were essentially “divided into nine nations” and approximately 93% of the land was reserved for the white people. 2/3 of the population of South Africa at the time was considered African, or native people, and these people were all banned from “freely buying land”, making conditions very harsh, and malnutrition was extremely common . Urbanization occurred with white people in power simply increasing the segregation between races. Africans continued to live and work in absolutely terrible conditions. They often resided in the outskirts of cities in derisory housing, with poor sanitation, were lucky to have a bit of electricity, and had awful people to manage their workplace. The
