Cecil Rhodes and the Cape Afrikaners (eBook, ePUB)

The Imperial Colossus and the Colonial Parish Pump

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This study of the relationship between Cecil Rhodes and the Cape Afrikaners fills many gaps in his political biography. Previous biographers have rarely consulted the abundant Cape Afrikaner sources that this book refers to and which contribute to a better understanding of Rhodes' political career. Rhodes, who appeared on the political scene of the Cape Colony in the 1880s, played an important role in the shaping of the political outlook of the Cape Afrikaners during the last two decades of the century.

area in recent years." T.R.H. Davenport, the Journal of Imperial and
