The Afrikaners by John Fisher is a substantial historical study of the Afrikaner people, their origins, political development and influence on the history of South Africa. First published by Cassell & Company Ltd in 1969, this hardcover first edition is particularly relevant to collectors of Africana and readers interested in the complex development of South African society and politics.
Fisher traces the Afrikaner story from the early European settlement at the Cape and the growth of a distinct Afrikaans-speaking community through the expansion into the South African interior. The Afrikaners examines major events and personalities that shaped Afrikaner identity, including frontier expansion, conflict with British colonial authority, the Boer republics, the Anglo-Boer War and the subsequent political development of South Africa.
Published during a significant period in twentieth-century South African history, The Afrikaners provides a historical perspective written before many of the political transformations that reshaped the country in later decades. As such, The Afrikaners is useful not only as a general history but also as an example of historical writing from its period.
