  1. The Native Reserves

  2. The European takeover of Africa lands • The European settler colonies demanded more and more land; therefore, governments created Native Reserves. • In theory these plots of land were suppose to protect the indigenous population from being overly influenced by the European powers. They were viewed as a place for displaced Africans to find housing and be people of their same heritage. • In reality the parcels of land provided the European settlers a way to exploit the land of the indigenous population. Africans were forced on these holding of land in so the colonizers could easily tax, control, and subdue native populations. If the African population was allowed to maintain l rural or dispersed over a larger area then it would take more colonial resources and manpower to subdue them. • This process of creating territorial segregation continued in South African until very recently. • For more on Native Reserves read Chapters 1 & 6 in Imperial Reckoning, by Caroline Elkins (A specific analysis of the British assault on the Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya).
