Albert Barend Gildenhuizen (also spelt Gildenhuisz or Gildenhausen) arrived at the Cape in 1661 from Burgsteinfurt, Wesfale, Holland, as a sailor on board the ship "Princesse Royale". He became a "vryburger" on 23rd September 1661, the year before Cape founder Jan van Riebeeck returned to the Netherlands.He returned to Holland to marry Margaretha Hoefnagels and settled in the Cape in 1672. The Geldenhuys Stamvader was employed as a farm labourer from 1662 to 1665, and were known as knechts (hired hands released from the Garrison), working on various farms, among others with farmer Jacob Cloete. "Free burghers" were granted 11.5 hectares of land along the Liesbeek River. Their descendant son, Barend Gildenhausen born on 6th September 1682, was the first purchaser of Vergelegen - the Hottentots Holland wine farm established by Willem Adriaan van der Stel, the son of well-liked Simon van der Stel. Vergelegen borders the town Somerset West.

The Intimate Empire
Author: Gillian WhitlockPublisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1847142400
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
By means of contextualized readings, this work argues that autobiographic writing allows an intimate access to processes of colonization and decolonization, incorporation and resistance, and the formation and reformation of identities which occurs in postcolonial space. The book explores the interconnections between race, gender, autobiography and colonialism and uses a method of reading which looks for connections between very different autobiographical writings to pursue constructions of blackness and whiteness, femininity and masculinity, and nationality. Unlike previous studies of autobiography which focus on a limited Euro American canon, the book brings together contemporary and 19th-century women's autobiographies and travel writing from Canada, the Caribbean, Kenya, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. With emphasis on the reader of autobiography as much as the subject, it argues that colonization and resistance are deeply embedded in thinking about the self.
