Synopsis
Boers and Little Englanders: The Story of the Conventions examines the roots of deep South African conflict through the rise of the Boer republics and the English response. This edition presents a plain, unvarnished tale of how a people shaped by exile and faith navigated colonial power, treaties, and a struggle for self-government.
The book traces the origins of the South African Republic, the pressures of British rule, and the conventions that defined the late 19th century. It highlights key figures and events that shaped the region's political landscape and the fate of its native populations, offering context for the era’s enduring questions.
- Origins of the Boer movement and their move northward in the 1830s
- How the Sand River and Pretoria conventions defined self-government and debts
- Factors behind conflicts with British authorities and native communities
- Profiles of influential leaders such as Kruger and Pretorius
Ideal for readers seeking a focused, documentary-style look at the conventions that shaped early South African history and the tensions between settlers and imperial power.
