De bijdragen van Nederlandstaligen tot de Afrikaanse letterkunde

Abstract - Publishers, authors and literary critics who were born in the Netherlands, Belgium or the Dutch colonies and were originally Dutch-speaking made important contributions to the establishment and development of the Afrikaans literature. This essay outlines their work in this regard over more than 160 years. While the relations between these two so closely connected language groups have once again changed recently, this history poses a challenge for the future.
