History is a series of snapshots: whose land "belongs" to who?

I'll confess to speed-reading this one. Yes, the whites took land that belonged to the Xhosas, but who did the Xhosas take it from? After all, they were migrants too. At the same time, I enjoyed the way it wove in the story of admixture between whites and Xhosas that certainly occurred and has been historically recognised - although its history goes back even further than this. Land and land grabs are a part of history no matter where in the world you may be, and before the one, there is another and another, and another. I think the book misses this point. It has a slight odour of white guilt, and although that's probably deserved, it fails to acknowledge that the Xhosa took the land from the Khoisan before that. And before that, heaven knows... No nation is without guilt
