Abstract
Afrikaans developed in South Africa out of an interaction among a variety of peoples. In the beginning, Afrikaans was considered a language spoken by the lower classes, but it rose from this low position to become an official language in 1925. After the National Party started to govern South Africa in 1948, Afrikaans became the language of the oppressor during apartheid. Post‑apartheid, Afrikaners questioned their identity, feeling conflicted between pride and shame.
The magazine Ons Klyntji was established in 1896 to foster a literary culture and shape Afrikaner identity, and still exists today. Throughout its publication history, the magazine was used to promote progressive causes: first in the creation of an Afrikaans literature, and then as a vehicle for protest by Afrikaners against apartheid. Both these causes developed out of a need to find a distinct identity amongst Afrikaners. The researchers argue that the publishing of Ons Klyntji has contributed positively to progressive political and social change with regards to Afrikaner identity, particularly in the post‑apartheid period.

Résumé
L’afrikaans s’est développé en Afrique du Sud à partir d’une interaction entre différentes populations. Au début, l’afrikaans était considéré comme une langue parlée par les classes défavorisées, mais il s’est élevé de cette position inférieure pour devenir une langue officielle en 1925. Après que le Parti national a commencé à gouverner l’Afrique du Sud en 1948, l’afrikaans est devenu la langue de l’oppresseur pendant l’apartheid. Après l’apartheid, les Afrikaners se sont interrogés sur leur identité, se sentant partagés entre la fierté et la honte.
Le magazine Ons Klyntji a été fondé en 1896 pour promouvoir la culture littéraire et façonner l’identité afrikaner, et il existe toujours aujourd’hui. Tout au long de son histoire, le magazine a été utilisé pour promouvoir des causes progressistes : d’abord la création d’une littérature en afrikaans, puis la protestation des Afrikaners contre l’apartheid. Ces deux causes sont nées de la nécessité de trouver une identité distincte parmi les Afrikaners. Les chercheurs affirment que la publication d’Ons Klyntji a contribué de manière positive au changement politique et social progressiste en ce qui concerne l’identité afrikaner, en particulier dans la période post‑apartheid.
