Short description

Long description

David Goldblatt's work reflects a life-long exploration of the relationship between individual South Africans and the society they live in. This, his first extended photographic essay, was compiled in the 1960s. When finally published in 1975 as Some Afrikaners Photographed, the title angered many. Considered one of the major photographic works in this genre, the original book has never been reprinted and is almost impossible to obtain. Some Afrikaners Revisited not only offers an additional twenty images from the period not included in the original book, but also includes Goldblatt’s notes on how Some Afrikaners Photographed and Some Afrikaners Revisited came into being, an essay by Ivor Powell and Antjie Krog's response to the images.

Mixed emotions
Reviewed by Unknown from Pretoria, South Africa on 25 April 2007

This photo essay sheds some light into the lives of normal middle and lower class Afrikaners as at the height of Apartheid, which makes it as a valuable contribution to history than it is to the art of photography. David Goldblatt's style leaves interpretation open to the beholder, which probably contributes to the heated debate which was sparked by this book's predecessor. The essays by Goldblatt and Krog help to set the background and allow the casual observer a peek at some of the anomalies in the Afrikaner culture. I do however get the feeling that the essay by Ivor Powell was only written to settle an old score. This is expounded by his statement that Afrikaners are only a creole people who live off subsistence farming.
