Some Afrikaners photographed

David Goldblatt

Cape Town Murray Crawford, distributed by Struik,  1975

Number 232 of 1000 copies of this first edition, signed by Goldblatt.

"The photographs in this book are of some Afrikaner people in South Africa. There are glimpses into their world, and a few of the subjects are other South Africans who, although not Afrikaners, are part of it. This book is not an outline, still less a systematic survey of Afrikaner life, nor are the people in these photographs a cross-section of the Afrikaner People." "So I came to photograph Afrikaners, moving slowly beyond the district and people I knew. For a while, I thought of photographing the Afrikaner People. It took time to understand that for me such a project would be grossly pretentious and probably impossible to achieve in any meaningful sense - in any case it is not what I wanted. I did not have the encyclopedic vision that might enable me to achieve an acceptably 'balanced' picture of a people. I needed to grasp something of what a man is and is becoming in all the particularity of himself and his bricks and bit of earth and of this place and to contain all this in a photograph. To do this, and to discover the shapes and shades of his loves and fears and of my own, would be enough."
