| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Outside parliament, the story of Afrikaner nationalism is largely a story of political (and sometimes economic) activists establishing language and cultural organisations. In a preliminary attempt to systematise the intentions and achievements of these extra-parliamentary components of the Afrikaner movement, this article critiques and refines Joep Leerssen's model of nationalism as 'the cultivation of culture' (Nations and Nationalism 12, 4: 559-78). Drawing on the examples of the Genootskap van Regte Afrikaanders and the Afrikaner-Broederbond, I revisit the relationship between cultural and political nationalism - both as concepts and as actual movements - and question the notion of a dichotomy. |
