'This book richly reveals the people David Goldblatt has photographed and something of their world and their time. But Some Afrikaners Photographed is not an attempt at definition. It is the personal vision of a man aware of his own identity who has tried through his camera to find and grasp the identity of others. In doing this he has transcended the "we" and the "them" which so dominate relations within South Africa. The integrity of the photographer combined with the directness and intensity of his perception have produced a collection of photographs of compelling significance - to photography and to our understanding of the people he has photographed.'
