Revealing the impact of diasporic Scots on church and society in
South Africa and beyondUtilising a large trove of primary source
documents, this book presents a trans-generational narrative of the
influence and role played by diasporic Scots and some of their
descendants in the religious and political lives of Dutch/Afrikaner
people in British colonial southern Africa. It demonstrates how
this Scottish religious culture helped to develop a complicated
counter-narrative to what would become the mainstream discourse of
Afrikaner Christian nationalism in the early 20th century. Retief
Muller provides new perspectives on the ways in which the
historical changeover from British Imperial rule to apartheid South
Africa was both contradicted and facilitated by the influence and
legacies of Scottish religious emissaries, and considers the
backlash to the Scots-Afrikaner tradition from the side of
Afrikaner Christian nationalist opponents.
