摘要

在这篇史学文章中,我们分析了历史学家在前殖民时代获得Bahurutshe(南非索托-茨瓦纳人的一个分支)研究材料的三个来源:口头传统,铁器时代遗址的考古研究,以及欧洲游客到马里科的最古老的书面记录。我们指出,由于巴茨瓦纳人在19世纪以前是没有文字的社会,对其早期历史的研究是一项多学科项目,需要人类学家、考古学家和语言学家的投入。要对非洲前殖民时期的历史进行连贯的叙述是一项艰巨的任务,但前殖民时期非洲社会的历史在(南非)过去的大图景中具有重要意义,并为有关该地区历史的持续论述提供信息。我们认为Hurutshe的历史符合南非历史的更广泛的模式,并与当前围绕种族和土地主张等有争议问题的辩论的理解相关。

Precolonial African Historiography as a multidisciplinary project
In this historiographical article we analyse the three sources from which historians obtain their material for the research of the Bahurutshe (a subgroup of the Sotho-Tswana of South Africa) in the precolonial era: oral tradition, archaeological studies of Iron Age sites, and the oldest written accounts by European visitors to the Marico. We show that because the Batswana were non-literate societies before the nineteenth century, the study of their early history is a multidisciplinary project requiring the inputs of anthropologists, archaeologists and linguists. To produce a cohesive narrative of African precolonial history is an arduous task, but the history of precolonial African societies has major significance in the bigger picture of the (South) African past and informs ongoing discourses about the history of the region. We argue that Hurutshe history fits into the broader pattern of South African history and has relevance for the understanding of current debates around controversial issues such as ethnicity and land claims.
