Symposium for Miroslav Hroch
Twelve historians and social scientists reflect on Miroslav Hroch's contributions to the field of nationalism studies. There are essays on his pioneering comparative historical studies of ‘small nation’ national movements and his distinction between nationalism and national movements. Other essays focus on concepts such as those of protagonist, the three phases of national movements, the small nation and nationally relevant conflict of interest. …
Boere into Boere (farmers into Boers)
This paper challenges the claim, as articulated by Norman Ehterington, that the so‐called Great Trek was not “an act of national self‐assertion by Boers in rebellion against British rule” (2001:258). Whilst affirming the scholarly consensus that the Trek was not an expression of Afrikaner nationalism, I argue that it marked the rise of Boer nationalism, which entailed the transformation of white Dutch‐speaking farmers on the eastern border of the…

A New Generation of Gustav Prellers? TheFragmente/FAK/Vrye AfrikaanMovement, 1998-2008
Defining nationalism as an ideology which holds that the nation should be collectively and freely articulated – both symbolically and institutionally – this article claims (contra Hermann Giliomee and others) that Afrikaner nationalism has outlived apartheid, at least as an elite movement. During the first decade of the 21st century this movement has become consolidated around a few organisations which define their mission, depending on the circu…
Towards an alternative take on language activism
It has been claimed that language activism could serve as a barometer of the general social condition of the (civically defined) South African nation (Du Plessis 2006, 89). The argument in this article is that language activism in the country continues to be what it always has been (here and elsewhere): a barometer of ethno-linguistic vitality/mobilised ethnicity/ethnic nationalism. Proceeding from the premise that activism implies the endorsemen…
Culture and power
Outside parliament, the story of Afrikaner nationalism is largely a story of political (and sometimes economic) activists establishing language and cultural organisations. In a preliminary attempt to systematise the intentions and achievements of these extra-parliamentary components of the Afrikaner movement, this article critiques and refines Joep Leerssen's model of nationalism as ‘the cultivation of culture’ (Nations and Nationalism 12, 4: 559…
Fools, philologists and philosophers
This article attempts to develop a general theoretical framework within which the hypothesis can be tested that the contemporary social movement for the promotion of Afrikaans in South Africa is essentially an Afrikaner nationalist movement. It defines nationalism as an ideology, a movement and a sentiment, and explores the role of language in each of these dimensions of nationalism (the philosophical, the social and the psychological). I wish to…
Discourses of language activism
This article argues that the language activism witnessed over the past decade in the white Afrikaans-speaking community constitutes, in essence, a nationalist movement. Here an attempt is made to illustrate that the South African constitution as well as certain trends in sociolinguistic literature has opened the door to nationalist opportunism. Preliminary comments are made about the nature of this movement, its underlying rationale and its princ…
Afrikaans and Afrikaner nationalism
One ofthe central problems in the politics of South Africa's many languages is their sociocultural meanings, which range from negative connotations to cases where a language is regarded as a core element in the continued sociopolitical existence ofits Speakers. In both instances, but particularly in the latter case, such meanings couldprove to be obstades to nation building. This is especially so in the case of Afrikaans, which is a basic constit…
