Hermann Giliomee 
Maverick Africans 
The shaping of the Afrikaners

Ajutor
‘The emotional debate about South Africa’s past of colonialism and apartheid draws heavily on the assumption that our history differs little from that of other Western colonies where the land was forcibly taken from an indigenous population which was decimated or completely marginalised. A comparative study of colonialism, however, reveals several features that have made South Africa exceptional …’ Hermann Giliomee, pre-eminent South African historian, dissects the forces that shaped the Afrikaners into an unusual ‘maverick African’ nation. In part one of this collection, he analyses long-term forces like the powerful legal position of Afrikaner women, the expanding frontier that gave rise to individualism and later to republicanism, and the struggles about race inside the Dutch Reformed Church. The second part examines controversial aspects of more recent Afrikaner political history, including the alleged civil service purges after 1948, Nationalist corruption, the Absa ‘Lifeboat’ and the quality of Afrikaner leadership. Finally there is a chapter on the ‘broken heart’ of the Afrikaner community. Hermann Giliomee is a renowned historian. His bestselling ‘The Afrikaners’ was published to international acclaim and adapted into a popular television documentary. He was a Fellow at Yale, Cambridge and the Woodrow Wilson Centre in Washington DC.
