The history of the Boer identity is an epic saga. "This book challenges the traditional perspective, which has never focused on the creation and development of the Boer identity."
The Creation of the Boer Identity
The history of the Boer identity is an epic saga. The Boer identity emerged in the isolation of an expansive landscape and evolved as a unique cultural entity deeply rooted in the principles of individualism, localism, independence, and freedom. The development of the Boer identity is an action-packed tale of sacrifice, suffering, loss, victory, and resilience that shaped the Boer identity. "What sets 'The Creation of the Boer Identity' apart is that it challenges the traditional perspective, which has never focused on the creation and development of the Boer identity." "It is a comprehensive exploration of the formation of the Boer identity." "The book has been extensively researched, and i...
Die Skepping van die Boeridentiteit
Die geskiedenis van die Boeridentiteit is 'n epiese sage. Die Boeridentiteit het in die isolasie van 'n uitgestrekte landskap, as 'n unieke kulturele entiteit ontstaan wat diep gewortel is in die beginsels van individualisme, lokalisme, onafhanklikheid en vryheid. Die ontwikkeling van die Boeridentiteit is 'n aksie-belaaide verhaal van opoffering, lyding, verlies, oorwinning, en veerkragtigheid wat die Boeridentiteit gevorm het. "Wat "Die Skepping van Die Boeridentiteit" onderskei, is dat dit die tradisionele perspektief, wat nooit op die skepping en ontwikkeling van die Boeridentiteit gefokus het nie, uitdaag." "Dit is 'n omvattende verkenning van die vorming van die Boeridentiteit." "Die b...
Our Divine Double
What if you were to discover that you were only one half of a whole—that you had a divine double? In the second and third centuries CE, Charles Stang shows, this idea gripped the religious imagination of the Eastern Mediterranean, offering a distinctive understanding of the self that has survived in various forms down to the present.
The Great Treks
The mass migration of the Boer farmers from Cape Colony to escape British domination in 1835-36 - the Great Trek - has always been a potent icon of Africaaner nationalism and identity. For African nationalists, the Mfecane - the vast movement of the Black populations in the interior following the emergence of a new Zulu kingdom as a major military force in the early 19th century - offers an equally powerful symbol of the making of a nation. With their parallel visions of populations on the move to establish new states, these two stories became part of divided South Africa’s separate mythologies, treated as unconnected events taking place in separate universes. For the first time, in this groundbreaking book, accounts of both migrations are brought together and examined. In uniting these separate visions of African and Afrikaaner history, Norman Etherington provides a fascinating picture of a major turning point in South African history, and points the way for future work on the period.
Cracking Under Pressure
"An investigation of the squatters' movement in Amsterdam, which emerged in the late 1970s as a reaction to the housing shortage of the 1960s, peaked in the early 1980s, and then fell into a period of prolonged decline. Focuses on issues relating to the decline of social movements"--Provided by publisher.
