Bleek considers the collective destiny of the black man in a globalising world. His concern seems to be the squandering of masses of rational beings and how best to adapt them to the current industrial age. He problematises the strong emotions behind religious hatred and political arrangements toward blacks. These intense (irrational) emotions are central to race-related conflicts like the long-lived fighting north of the Great Namaqualand between Bantu and Hottentot groups. He recommends intervening in Damaraland to protect nearby European settlements by forming a quasi-sovereign company.
