Boer Politics

"Boer Politics" by Yves Guyot is a deep look into the political tensions in South Africa in the years before the Boer War. This book examines the relationship between the Boer governments and the British, particularly focusing on the treatment of British settlers (Uitlanders) by the Boers. The author starts by explaining that the book is a response to opinions that favored the Boers and promises a careful look at Boer politics. Details about important historical moments, such as the Jameson Raid, are provided to show how the Boer leaders governed and treated people who were not Boers, bringing attention to the issues of injustice and inequality.
