Material Histories of the Maloti-Drakensberg “Delving into the politics of water in Lesotho and South Africa, this book reveals the history and implications of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project. It is a remarkable work that lays bare the entrenched racial and class injustices that have shaped dam development in southern Africa.” Nthabiseng Mokoena-Mokhali, Archaeologist and Lecturer, Department of Historical Studies, National University of Lesotho
