From 1652 until 1795, the Cape of Good Hope was a Dutch settlement marked by tensions,
often portrayed as antagonism between the oppressive Dutch East India Company (VOC)
and aggrieved burgher as the underdogs. However, by comparing the political structures,
institutions and dynamics of the Dutch Republic and its overseas settlement, the author
demonstrates that the relationship was more cooperative and that the Cape burghers
were able to influence policies in their favour similar to the way burghers in the
Dutch Republic did by forming political factions. Using the Cape Conflict of the later
eighteenth century as a case study, Baartman illustrates that it was in fact a fight
for power between factions within the ruling elite, which consisted of VOC officials
and burghers. This book offers new evidence, different interpretations and an innovative
narrative about where burghers came from, what their position was, and how the Cape
political world operated
