Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a sociological and literary look at the Boer people, a group of Afrikaners that played a significant role in the history of South Africa. The author examines the Boer's humble beginnings as Dutch settlers centuries ago to their eventual formation of independent republics like the Orange Free State and the Transvaal. It also explores the Boer's later conflicts with the British, the Boer republics' annexation into the British Empire, and the Boer War of 1899-1902.
