James Stuart (1868–1942) was a Natal colonial civil servant, magistrate, and historian.
His book is the principal contemporary account of the 1906 Zulu Rebellion (also known as the Bambatha Rebellion), an uprising against colonial taxation and authority in Natal. It provides a detailed narrative of the rebellion from the colonial government’s perspective. Stuart had first-hand administrative experience in Natal and deep knowledge of Zulu society, having collected extensive oral histories (now known as the James Stuart Archive). The book also covers the arrest and trial of Dinuzulu ka Cetshwayo, the Zulu king accused of involvement in the rebellion, and his eventual exile.
