Legassick explores aspects of the generally unknown ‘brown’ and ‘black’ history of the Gordonia region of the Northern Cape. Tracing the indigenous histories and the northward movement of Basters and whites, the book presents accounts of family histories, resistance to colonisation, and the imposition of racial segregation and land dispossession. 

Tracing the indigenous history of Gordonia as well as the northward movement of Basters and whites from the western Cape through Bushmanland to the Orange River, the book presents accounts of family histories, episodes of indigenous resistance to colonisation, and studies of the ultimate imposition of racial segregation and land dispossession on the inhabitants of the region.
