Power in Colonial Lesotho: Conflict and Discourse in Lesotho, 1870-1960. By Elizabeth Eldredge. Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 2007. Pp. xii, 264. $65.00 cloth.
Elizabeth Eldredge's work provides important detail and critical analysis of some defining moments in Leostho's history, and successfully uses Lesotho to illustrate how Africans used hidden messages in public discourse to challenge colonial rule. The book makes excellent use of archival material, and provides insightful analysis of colonial documents, but would have benefited from a more extensive use of oral sources. The critique of older scholarly work in the introduction does not seem necessary for her argument.
