The 16th of December in South Africa by Wolfram Kistner

In an essay entitled  “The 16th of December in the context of Nationalistic thinking in colonial- and apartheid-South Africa”  Wolfram Kistner [1975]  makes an attempt at outlining and tracing the origins of “the interpretation of South African history as a source of divine revelation manifesting God’s relation to his people and his will for the future of this people”.  Such interpretation of history had become practically the only version in text-books and public discourse in colonial- and apartheid-South Africa.
