The History of the Afrikaner
The Boers migrated north in 1835. The Afrikaner, or Boer, is the youngest nation on the planet. The Afrikaner nation, as we know it today, essentially took shape with the beginning of the Great Trek. The Afrikaners have existed as a nation at the southern tip of Africa for only about 190 years and have always fought to preserve and maintain their people’s culture throughout this period.
There is one Afrikaans word that every person on earth knows— “apartheid.”
This is why it is essential to make the background of apartheid known to the world.
How the British Empire Shaped Apartheid Empire with Michael Portillo
Apartheid Britain’s bastard child Paperback – 1 July 2018
Hélène Opperman Lewis MSc (Psych) – Author
This book is written as an attempt to understand what psycho-historical factors played a dominant role and undoubtly contributed to Afrikaners creating apartheid 1948. The main factors are humiliation by the British, and unprocessed grief due to the Anglo-Boer War when the women and children were put into British concentration camps, leaving the survivors with a deep fear of survival as a people, in a country where they were far outnumbered by black people. The book follows their tracks from 1795 till 1948. The book is not about Apartheid, it’s about what determined it’s creation in 1948 from a psychological perspective. It’s a psychohistorical study.
