1901AQ28839London: Printed for His Majesty's Stationery Office by Harrison and Sons 1901. 384pp. Bound with: South Africa. Further papers relating to the working of the refugee camps in south africa. London. Printed for His Majesty's Stationery Office by Darling & Son 1902. iv 134pp. Folio. Later red half-calf tooled in gilt and blind red cloth boards contrasting black morocco lettering-pieces. Two reports concerning the governance and conditions of South African concentration camps established during the Second Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902. The British confined Boer families and black Africans to the camps in an effort to force the surrender of the Boer guerillas. Conditions were dire. Sustenance was scarce and medical treatment almost non-existent. Disease ran rampant resulting in the death of over 28000 Boer women and children and 12000 black Africans. The strategy proved ineffectual and attracted heated criticism from the British press. Control of the camps was wrestled from the military and conditions were somewhat improved not insignificantly due to the tireless campaigning of activist Emily Hobhouse 1860-1926 who both brought the matter to the public more generally as well as organising relief efforts to those unfortunate to be incarcerated. .
