Delius was surprised when nonacademics began reading "The Land Belongs to Us", his Ph.D. dissertation on the Pedi Kingdom in the 19th century that was published in 1983. Here he continues the history of the region by describing Sekhuckuneland in the 1930's, rehabilitation and resistance to the South African government 1936-48, the ANC and Communist Party to the middle 1950s, the revolts of 1958 and 1986, and other events and changes.
