from Sane Valley · host Tumelo Moletsane
This briefing discussion summarizes the key themes and arguments presented in Patric Tariq Mellet's "The Lie of 1652: A Decolonised History of Land." The work challenges dominant colonial narratives about South Africa's history, focusing on the period before and after the arrival of the Dutch in 1652. Mellet aims to decolonize the understanding of land, identity, and belonging, arguing that the colonial story of an "empty land" is a myth used to justify dispossession and oppression.
