Synopsis & Academic Significance

Defended in November 1973 at Potchefstroom University, Dr J. H. Snyman's Die Afrikaner in Kaapland 1899–1902 is an exhaustive, primary-source investigation into the political, social, and martial dynamics of Cape Afrikaners during the Anglo-Boer War.

The text addresses the intricate dilemma of the Cape Rebels—British subjects of Afrikaner descent who faced treason charges for taking up arms or supporting the invading Boer commandos. Using original court-martial transcripts, regional government documents, and personal letters, this text is an unmatched scholarly resource for understanding the regional civil fractures within the Cape Colony.
