| “Die Ontwaking van die Afrikaanse Nasionale Bewussyn: 1868–1881 by F. A. van Jaarsveld is a foundational work in South African historiography, offering a detailed examination of the rise of Afrikaner national consciousness during a pivotal period in the late 19th century. Published in 1959 by Nasionale Boekhandel Beperk in Cape Town, this hardcover edition spans 198 pages and presents Van Jaarsveld’s groundbreaking research into the ideological, cultural, and political developments that helped shape the Afrikaner identity between 1868 and 1881. In this influential study, Van Jaarsveld explores how resistance to British colonial authority, the Afrikaans language movement, religious thought, and the development of distinct cultural institutions all contributed to a growing sense of nationhood among the Afrikaner people. Through meticulous use of primary sources, critical analysis, and thoughtful commentary, the author uncovers how Afrikaner self-awareness and group identity began to crystallize in response to a rapidly changing social and political landscape. As one of South Africa’s most respected historians, F. A. van Jaarsveld played a significant role in shaping the academic discourse around Afrikaner nationalism. His work remains essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the roots of Afrikaner ideology and its impact on the broader course of South African history. This first edition hardcover is now increasingly scarce and makes an excellent addition to any serious Africana collection. It is especially valuable to historians, researchers, collectors, and institutions with an interest in South African political and cultural development during the 19th century. The book is presented in Afrikaans and features the classic mid-century academic style typical of the period. Condition is [insert condition here—e.g., very good, with minimal shelf wear, tight binding, and clean pages]. A significant and collectible volume, this edition captures an essential chapter in the story of the Afrikaner people and the evolution of their national consciousness.” |
