It demonstrates how this Scottish religious culture helped to develop a complicated counter-narrative to what would become the mainstream discourse of Afrikaner Christian nationalism in the early 20th century. The reader can expect new perspectives on the ways in which the historical changeover from British Imperial rule to apartheid South Africa was both contradicted, but also in often paradoxical ways facilitated, by the influence and legacies of Scottish religious emissaries UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781474462976 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781474462976 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781474462976/original ER -
