Synopsis & Historical Value
Published in Pretoria in 1985 by Oranjewerkers Promosies, . . . en hier is nou ons nuwe Boerevolkstaat is an Afrikaans work that sets out the case for a Boer people's state, or Boerevolkstaat. The cover map marks the claimed territory, including the Republiek van Oranje Vrystaat and Pretoria.
The contents include an introduction, a chapter titled "Die eenheidstaat het ons ingehaal" and a chapter on the Volkstaat idea. The book was edited by Alkmaar Swart as eindredakteur, with contributions from F.C. de Beer and J.P. Naudé.
The book belongs to the 1980s debate on Afrikaner self-determination and political partition, which preceded the Volkstaat proposals of the early 1990s. It is of interest to collectors of Afrikaner political history and the literature of Afrikaner nationalism, and it has been cited in scholarly work on the South African far right.
