"Life in Afrikanderland as viewed by an Afrikander" by CIOS is a historical narrative written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the life experiences of Afrikanders, focusing on themes of identity, struggle, and perseverance amid the socio-political tensions of South Africa during a tumultuous period. It is primarily a depiction of the daily life and aspirations of its protagonist, Steve, alongside his family and community in a time characterized by a quest for independence and national pride. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to a poignant death-bed scene where Steve's father imparts critical life lessons about duty to family, faith, and loyalty to their people. This touching moment sets the tone for Steve's coming-of-age story, which unfolds against the backdrop of the Transvaal's fight for independence. The opening chapters delve into Steve’s childhood, portraying his close bond with his mother and siblings, the hardships they face after their father's death, and his blossoming sense of patriotism amidst the rising tensions leading to conflict with the British. This intricate weave of personal and national struggles invites readers to empathize with Steve’s journey and the larger struggles of the Afrikaner people during this pivotal era.
