dc.description.abstractENGLISH ABSTRACT: “Keep the Boys Happy”: A Critical Investigation into Rape Trends at the Cape, 1795-1895” locates rapists in the Cape Colony within the broader existing literature on rape in British colonial settings. It provides empirical data on rape reporting and conviction rates drawn from a systematic investigation of court records over one hundred years. The focus of this thesis, inspired by the works of Joanna Bourke and Chet Fransch, are: who were these rapists, why did they commit these acts of rape and what was the role of the state in regulating rape at the Cape? It is through these lenses that this dissertation revisits the inter-connectedness of rape, race and class in the colonial setting of 19th century South Africa.en_ZA
