Book Synopsis
Afrikaans developed when slaves in the Cape adapted Dutch the language of the rulers for their own use. Many years later Afrikaans was hijacked by some white Afrikaners as their language', but Davids proved beyond doubt that it was the descendants of the slaves, not their masters, who first wrote Afrikaans.
