Brookes was 27 when he published a major work. The History of Native Policy in South Africa from 1830 to the Present Day (1924). While describing himself as a liberal, he supported at this time a paternalistic form of racial segregation and development. He later abandoned these views and moved toward acceptance of universal suffrage. He taught at the Afrikaans-speaking Transvaal University College (later the University of Pretoria), became active in the Joint Council and Oxford movements, and was principal from 1933 to 1945 of the influential missionary school known as Adams College, where Z. K. Matthews and Albert Luthuli were his colleagues andAnton Lembede and Jordan Ngubane were among the students. He was elected to the Senate in 1937 by Africans in Natal and served in Parliament for about 15 years”.
