Between 1899 and 1902 the Dutch public was captivated by the war
raging in South Africa between the Boer republics and the British
Empire. Dutch popular opinion was on the side of the Boers: these
descendants of the seventeenth-century Dutch settlers were
perceived as kinsmen, the most tangible result of which was a flood
of propaganda material intended as a counterweight to the British
coverage of the war. The author creates a fascinating account of
the Dutch pro-Boer movement from its origins in the 1880s to its
persistent continuation well into the twentieth century.
Kuitenbrouwer offers fascinating insights into the rise of
organisations that tried to improve the ties between the
Netherlands and South Africa and in that capacity became important
links in the international network that distributed propaganda for
the Boers. He also demonstrates the persistence of that stereotypes
of the Boers and the British in Dutch propaganda materials had
lasting effects on nation building both in the Netherlands and
South Africa of the period.
