Zusammenfassung: | The article analyzes accounts of the Zulu Rebellion of 1906, which took place in Natal Colony and Zululand (present-day South Africa), as provided by isizulu-speaking individuals directly or indirectly involved in the uprisings, and recorded by the civil servant and colonial administrator James Stuart between the 1900s and 1910. The testimonies reveal, beyond the more immediate causes of the rebellion, such as the unjust imposition of colonial taxes, a perception of illegitimacy associated with colonial rule in a context marked by the intensification of labour exploitation and land expropriation in Southern Africa. Keywords: South Africa; Zulu Rebellion; James Stuart (18681942). O artigo analisa os relatos acerca da rebeliao zulu de 1906, que ocorreu na regiao da Colonia de Natal e da Zululandia (atualmente parte da Africa do Sul), fornecidos por homens falantes de isizulu que se envolveram direta ou indiretamente com as insurgencias e que foram registrados pelo funcionario civil e administrador colonial James Stuart entre as decadas de 1900 e 1910. Os testemunhos evidenciam, para alem das causas mais imediatas da rebeliao, a exemplo da imposicao injusta de impostos coloniais, uma percepcao da ilegitimidade associada ao governo colonial, em um contexto marcado pela intensificacao da exploracao de mao de obra e expropriacao de terras no interior do sul da Africa. Palavras-chave: Africa do Sul; Rebeliao zulu; James Stuart (1868-1942). |
