Afrikaner Identity - From Anticolonial Struggle Through Hegemonic Nationalism to Disempowered Minority

Tells the longer story of the Afrikaners, starting with the emergence of an accidental Dutch colony at Cape Town in the seventeenth century, and explores how this identity assumed its shape over time. The book concludes with the transition to black-majority rule since 1994 and Afrikaners' new role as a politically disempowered white minority.
