The White Hand And The Black: A Story Of The Natal Rising is a historical novel written by Bertram Mitford and originally published in 1907. The book is set in South Africa during the Natal Rising of 1906, which was a rebellion of the Zulu people against British colonial rule.The story follows the lives of two characters, a white man named Ronald Blennerhassett and a Zulu warrior named Mgwali. Ronald is a young man who has recently arrived in South Africa and is working on a farm in Natal. Mgwali is a fierce warrior who is fighting for the independence of his people.As the rebellion unfolds, Ronald and Mgwali find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict. Ronald is initially sympathetic to the Zulu cause and even falls in love with a Zulu woman named Ntombi. However, as the violence escalates, Ronald becomes disillusioned with the rebellion and joins the British forces.The novel explores themes of colonialism, race relations, and the struggle for independence.
