“…Dicho estudio puede sumarse a las contribuciones de los eruditos que han revelado la importancia de algunas de las personas más significativas durante esta época, sobre todo la de Alfred Milner, cuyas ideas y acciones, principalmente en las postrimerías de la guerra bóer, dieron forma al desarrollo de Sudáfrica de manera muy profunda (Le May, 1965;Marks y Trapido, 1979, pp. 50-80;Dubow, 1997, pp.…”

“…A diferencia de su padre, W. E. Gladstone, quien sin duda fue el político británico más importante del siglo xix (Jenkins, 1995), Herbert había tenido una carrera mediocre. Sin embargo, como secretario del Interior -"un cargo más restringido que glorioso" (Jenkins, 1978, p. 175)-había adquirido una reputación de administrador relativamente competente y supervisó el desarrollo de reformas legislativas enfocadas a mejorar las condiciones de trabajo y de vida de las clases trabajadoras de Gran Bretaña (Mallet, 1932).…”

El poder iterativo:Herbert Gladstone y el proyecto imperial británico en Sudáfrica a principios del siglo xx Iterative power: Herbert Gladstone and the British imperial project in early twentieth century South Africa ALISTAIR FRASER* Resumen: Con base en documentos de archivo relacionados con Herbert Gladstone, primer gobernador general de la Unión Sudafricana de 1910 a 1914, se explora la adopción del poder iterativo, centrado en la inevitable falibilidad de las personas encargadas de la toma de decisiones, que responden a la disposición espacial de diversos materiales y flujos, y tratan de alterarlos. Centrándose en la interacción de Gladstone en un incidente crítico en 1914, se revela cómo imaginó alterar la geografía única del país; sin embargo, también se evidencia la manera en que el poder iterativo que él manifestó, finalmente, fue incapaz de gestionar la dinámica de la acumulación capitalista, de la cuestión racial y del proyecto imperial en Sudáfrica.Palabras clave: Sudáfrica; Unión Sudafricana; Herbert Gladstone; historiografía; poder iterativo.Abstract: This article uses archival documents concerning Herbert Gladstone, first Governor-General of the Union of South Africa from

“…19 Milner attempted to bring a new rural order into being: he imported English settlers into the rural Transvaal and Orange Free State, in an attempt to introduce a class of commercial yeoman farmers. 20 In losing control of the state, the Boer notables had lost access to the spoils system and the benefits of office. More importantly, the state began to remove their hold on the people.…”

“Men of Influence”– The Ontology of Leadership in the 1914 Boer Rebellion

This paper raises questions about the ontology of the Afrikaner leadership in the 1914 Boer Rebellion -and the tendency to portray the rebel leadership in terms of monolithic Republicans, followed by those who shared their dedication to returning the state to the old Boer republics. Discussions of the Rebellion have not focused on the interaction between leadership and rank and file, which in part has been obscured by Republican mythology based on the egalitarianism of the Boer commando. This paper attempts to establish the ambitions of the leaders for going into rebellion and the motivations of those who followed them. It traces the political and economic changes that came with union and industrialization, and asks why some influential men felt increasingly alienated from the new form of state structure while others adapted to it. To ascertain the nature of the support for the leaders, the discussion looks at Republican hierarchy and the ideology of patriarchy. The paper further discusses the circumscribed but significant role of women in the Rebellion. This article seeks to contribute to a wider understanding of the history of leadership in South Africa, entangled in the identity dynamics of masculinity, class and race interests.

“…5 Although the Jameson Raid of 1896 against the Government of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek wrecked the alliance between Rhodes and the Afrikaner Bond 6 attempts to foster South African nationalism resurfaced in the period of reconstruction under the Milner administration following the South African War (1899-1902). 7 Milner's Kindergarten and the Round Table Movement were key players in this endeavour, and with money from figures such as Abe Bailey and Lord Selborne a new journal, The State, was set up in 1909. 8 Published in both Dutch and English it received contributions from leading political figures such as Generals Louis Botha and J.C. Smuts, former Cape Premiers John X. Merriman and L.S.…”

Kultuur Reclaimed: Afrikaner Nationalist Politics and the Stellenbosch District (South Africa), 1934–1939

This article challenges the notion that Afrikaner nationalism was underpinned by Afrikaner Unity. Focusing on the University town of Stellenbosch between 1934 and 1939 it explores the extreme fluidity of Afrikaner nationalist politics during this period, demonstrating the multiplicity of identities, and conflicting and co‐existing ideologies, which these politics comprised. The contested nature of Afrikaner nationalism in the period after the formation of Malan's “Purified” National Party in 1934 is illuminated through an examination of the debates within the Stellenbosch constituency over the true nature of the Afrikaner. Contestations over Afrikaans Kultuur (culture) were a key element of politics in Stellenbosch during this period, as Nationalist politicians and their supporters sought to “reclaim” control over “their” cultural icons.
