Abstract
This article examines selected poems in vernacular Afrikaans about
the colonial experience and its afterlife. Ronelda Kamfer and Nathan
Trantraal’s works expose obscured dimensions of a conventional encoding of
Dutch-South African relations, understood as stamverwantschap (tribal kinship).
They also consider the impact of this historical period on social relations and
lived experience, thus giving voice to minoritised subjects and rethinking
transnational entanglements between Europe and Africa.
