The White Hand And The Black

The White Hand and the Black: A Story of the Natal Rising is a historical novel written by Bertram Mitford and originally published in 1907. The novel is set in the province of Natal, South Africa, during the Natal Rebellion of 1906. The story follows the lives of two brothers, one white and one black, who find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict. The white brother, Hugh Wynne, is a British officer who is tasked with putting down the rebellion, while the black brother, Mfuni, is a Zulu warrior who is fighting for his people's independence. As the conflict intensifies, the brothers find themselves facing each other on the battlefield, torn between loyalty to their respective causes and their family ties. The novel explores themes of race, loyalty, and the complexities of colonialism. Mitford's vivid descriptions of the Natal landscape and his nuanced portrayal of the characters make The White Hand and the Black a compelling read for anyone interested in South African history and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
