520			_a"Native Races and the War" by Josephine Elizabeth Grey Butler is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This work addresses the complex issues surrounding the treatment of native races in South Africa, particularly in relation to the war and the legislative context of slavery within British and Boer governance. Butler aims to provide a voice for the oppressed by gathering testimonies from various witnesses, including native chiefs and others, to shed light on the injustices faced by the indigenous populations. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed examination of the interplay between colonial power dynamics and the plight of native peoples in South Africa. Butler begins with a compelling apology for contributing yet another discourse on the South African question, arguing that future peace must be grounded in justice for both white and colored populations. She outlines the relevant historical backdrop, including the abolition of slavery and previous treaties that promised protection and rights to the natives. Through the testimonies and appeals from various native leaders, Butler emphasizes the profound disappointment and disillusionment among these communities, who feel betrayed by the shifting political landscape and the broken promises of the British government. This opening portion evokes a sense of urgency and ethical responsibility towards the indigenous people and sets a critical tone for the rest of the book.
