White Tribe Dreaming: Apartheid's Bitter Roots as Witnessed 8 Generations Afrikaner Family - Hardcover
This is a history of the Afrikaner as seen through the history of one family, the de Villiers, who first moved to South Africa in the 1600s. The book traces the history of the family and the Afrikaner, showing how the Afrikaner acted at the turning points in their history and revealing how that has made them what they are today. It also charts the development of the hallmarks of apartheid, including the pass system and tribe mentality. Journalist Marq de Villiers includes memorable scenes from the family's history culled from the diaries and papers.

From Library Journal:
This is a readable history of the Afrikaners and race relations in South Africa, but not an apologia for apartheid. Written by a "liberal" who finds apartheid repugnant, yet who has empathy for his people, this account is quite balanced. Because of the author's method of tracing his family's history, the book reads like a cross between James Michener's fictional The Covenant and Barbara Villet's Blood River ( LJ 6/1/82) (both of which, however, present more of an Afrikaner viewpoint). Recommended for comprehensive collections or those lacking a nonfiction work on the Afrikaners. Paul H. Thomas, Hoover Inst. Lib., Stanford, Cal.

From Publishers Weekly:

A liberal Afrikaner here traces the history of his family, comparing it to the history of South Africa itself. "Regarding schism as fundamental to their tribal nature, he portrays and assesses Paul Kruger, Louis Botha, Jan Smuts, James Hertzog, Jan Hofmeyr and their successors," remarked PW. Photos.
