¿Había viajado? Era probable, porque conocía el mapamundi mejor que nadie. No había sitio, por oculto que pudiera hallarse, del que no pareciese tener un especial conocimiento. A veces, pero siempre en pocas breves y claras palabras, rectificaba los mil propósitos falsos que solían circular en el club acerca de viajeros perdidos o extraviados, indicaba las probabilidades que tenían mayores visos de realidad y a menudo, sus palabras parecían haberse inspirado en una doble vista.

Moreover, it is about his journey to escape the socio-economic trap of the apartheid regime to forever limit the Black man to a life of hardship.

A common thread throughout anarchism/libertarianism is the eventual arrival at some utopian, free society. The idea is that if “we” focus “our” efforts on educating individuals on economics, morality, history, etc., we can hit critical mass, abolish the State, and live happily ever after. While this “free world” is a pipe dream, it doesn’t mean that self-liberators can’t set up pockets of freedom in the here and now, despite the existence of the State. This respite from first realm tyranny is called second realm.

John Laband examines the reigns of the eight Zulu kings from 1816 to the present. Starting with King Shaka, the renowned founder of the Zulu kingdom, he charts the lives of the kings Dingane, Mpande, Cetshwayo, Dinuzulu, Solomon and Cyprian, to today’s King Goodwill Zwelithini. In the course of this investigation, Laband places the Zulu monarchy in the context of African kingship and tracks and analyses the trajectory of the Zulu kings from independent and powerful precolonial African rulers to largely powerless traditionalist figures in post-apartheid South Africa.
