He saw my research project as an opportunity to learn something new and his positive attitude, infinite patience, and constant support are gifts I will share with my own students. I would also like to thank the members of my dissertation committee for their patience, feedback, and encouragement. I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Barkdull during my first year as his teaching assistant and valued the fact that he was fair, open-minded, and pushed students to think critically. I only had a chance to know Dr. Glen Biglasier for a short time, but appreciated his enthusiasm, kindness, and his suggestions along the way. It was also wonderful to have Ambassador Nagy on my committee and he provided invaluable insights from his experience from living and working in Africa.

  • Le Solidarity Movement Et La Restructuration De L'activisme Afrika
    Université de Montréal « Un peuple se sauve lui-même » Le Solidarity Movement et la restructuration de l’activisme afrikaner en Afrique du Sud depuis 1994 par Joanie Thibault-Couture Département de science politique, Faculté des Arts et des Sciences Thèse présentée en vue de l’obtention du grade de doctorat en science politique Janvier 2017 © Joanie Thibault-Couture 2017 Résumé Malgré la déliquescence du nationalisme afrikaner causée par la chute du régime de l’apartheid et la prise du pouvoir politique par un parti non raciste et non ethnique en 1994, nous observons depuis les années 2000, un renouvèlement du mouvement identitaire afrikaner. L’objectif de cette thèse est donc de comprendre l’émergence de ce nouvel activisme ethnique depuis la transition démocratique. Pour approfondir notre compréhension du phénomène, nous nous posons les questions suivantes : comment pouvons-nous expliquer le renouvèlement de l’activisme afrikaner dans la « nouvelle » Afrique du Sud ? Comment sont définis les nouveaux attributs de la catégorie de l’afrikanerité ? Comment les élites ethnopolitiques restructurent-elles leurs stratégies pour assurer la pérennité de la catégorie dans l’Afrique du Sud post-apartheid ? Qu’est-ce que la résurgence d’une afrikanerité renouvelée nous apprend sur l’état de la cohésion sociale en Afrique du Sud et sur la mobilisation ethnolinguistique en général ? La littérature sur le mouvement post-apartheid fait consensus sur la disparition du nationalisme afrikaner raciste, mais offre peu d’analyses empiriques et de liens avec les nombreux écrits sur le mouvement nationaliste afrikaner pour comprendre les dynamiques de ce nouveau phénomène et effectue peu de liens avec les nombreux écrits sur le mouvement nationaliste afrikaner.

  • Indicator Vol 6.3.Pdf
    Barclays National Bank Limited • Registered Bank INSTITUTE OF - 2 AUG 1989 DEVELOPMENT STUDIES LIBRARY For David Paulsen,, the line between life and death is as wide as the sky. Whatever medical treatment he needs, he will get. In the intensive care unit of a specially equipped helicopter. Tended by the skilful hands of a highly qualified Red Cross sister, fully instructed in emergency care. On to the nearest hospital and, if medically possible, the road to complete recovery. There's a thin line between life and death. Some dedicated people at First National Bank were quick to see a way of helping to widen this delicate margin. With their colleagues at Capital Radio, they saw a way to help save human lives, beyond monitoring their movements on the roads. In the outlying valleys and hills of Natal and Kwazulu. Where the lack of proper attention, or a thwarted race against time, could have tragic consequences. Nurtured by the generous assistance of The Red Cross and the Natal Provincial Ambulance Services, the 'life line in the sky' has grown from an embryo to full fruition. To accident victims or the critically ill, it has become a symbol of mercy and hope, embodying those qualities we believe are essential in a changing nation's values. Strength. Warmth. Shelter. Life. We care. Because we all belong.

ABSTRACT org/10.18820/24150509/ SJCH46.v1.4 This article analyses the role Dr Albert Hertzog, an ultra- conservative Afrikaner Nationalist, played in the formation ISSN 0258-2422 (Print) of South Africa’s right-wing movement. It focuses on ISSN 2415-0509 (Online) his “Calvinist speech” of 1969 due to its historical Southern Journal for significance for the unity of the National Party (NP) and as a broad summary of Hertzog’s personal opinion Contemporary History on the politics of South Africa. The speech contrasted 2021 46(1):62-85 liberal English with Calvinistic Afrikaners and concluded that only an Afrikaner true to Calvinistic principles could PUBLISHED: succeed in leading the nation through the perilous times 23 July 2021 they were facing. This opinion was considered offensive to the English population as well as to “enlightened” Nationalists like the Prime Minister, John Vorster. The article will examine how the controversy surrounding the speech precipitated a split in the NP; those expelled formed a right-wing party that failed to gain considerable support. When apartheid was being dismantled in the early 1990s, the movement did not pose a serious threat to the ruling party despite vows that Afrikaners would never surrender their power but rather fight to the bitter end. The failure of these ultra-conservatives originated in the verlig-verkrampstryd of the 1960s, in which Hertzog played a significant role.

  • DIVISION of INFORMATION: Information Files
    UNISA LIBRARY UNITED PARTY ARCHIVES DIVISION OF INFORMATION: information files Inventory Compiled by Marié Coetzee 1987 Revised and updated Marié Coetzee 2012 UNITED PARTY ARCHIVES DIVISION OF INFORMATION: 1905-1990 Information files Introduction In terms of an agreement with the United Party in 1969, Unisa Library became the official custodian and processor of the Party’s political archive. The Archives also include the United Party’s predecessors and its successor the New Republic Party and the records of parties which broke away from the UP e.g. the Progressive Party (later the Progressive Federal Party). The Collection continued to grow even after the dissolution of the UP in 1977 and the final meeting of the trustees of the New Republic Party in 1989. The scope of the archival records of the Division of Information (422 boxes) The Division of Information is part of the larger United Party Archives which are available to national as well as international researchers. The Archives are of particular value in that the records are the official documents of a white South African political party who ruled for 38 years and who were the official opposition for 39 years. Over the years the Archives have been consulted by biographers, historians, politicians, educators, TV and film directors, lawyers, socialists and others. A year after losing the 1948 election against the National Party, the United Party established the Division of Information and Research in Johannesburg. Party officials were sent on official study tours to the United States and the United Kingdom to research marketing, fundraising and campaigning techniques and strategies abroad.
