Anglicization and the politicization of British immigration to South Africa, 1899–1929Footnote∗

This article is a shorter version of a paper which shared joint honours in the Royal Commonwealth Society's Walter Lord Frewen essay prize competition for 1989.1 would like to acknowledge the help and advice which I received from Dr Robert Boyce of the London School of Economics, Dr Stephen Constantine of Lancaster University, Dr Dane Kennedy of the University of Nebraska and Dr Glyn Stone of Bristol Polytechnic. In addition, I want to acknowledge the financial assistance of the South African Department of National Education who awarded me a scholarship in 1986 to undertake research in this field. Finally, I would like to thank the archivists and librarians in South Africa whose assistance and generosity made the task of research such an enjoyable and rewarding experience. In particular, I am indebted to Anna Cunningham of the University of the Witwatersrand and Maryna Fraser of the Barlow Rand Archives.
