Editor's note: 'Goldblatt began working on Some Afrikaners photographed, first published in 1975, in 1963. He had sold his father’s clothing store where he worked, and become a full-time photographer. The ruling Afrikaner National Party - many of its leaders and members had supported the Nazis in the Second World War - was firming its grip on the country in the face of black resistance. Yet Goldblatt was drawn not to the events of the time but to “the quiet and commonplace where nothing ‘happened’ and yet all was contained and immanent.” Through these photos he explored his ambivalence towards the Afrikaners he knew from his father’s store. Most, he guessed, were National Party voters, yet he experienced them as “austere, upright, unaffected people of rare generosity of spirit and earthy hum or.” Their potency and contradictions moved and disturbed him; their influence pervaded his life.'
