About
PJ Nienaber se *‘n Beknopte Geskiedenis van die Holland-Afrikaans Drukpers in Suid-Afrika* (1943) skets die ontwikkeling van die drukpers in Suid-Afrika. Dit begin met Johann Christian Ritter se pogings in 1784 en die stigting van die eerste drukpers in Kaapstad in 1800. Die boek dek die stryd om persvryheid, die opkoms van joernalistiek in die Kaapkolonie gedurende die 19de eeu, en die verspreiding van drukperse na ander dorpe. Dit bespreek prominente Hollandse en tweetalige publikasies soos *De Zuid-Afrikaan*, *Het Volksblad*, en verskeie tydskrifte, en beklemtoon die rol van die drukpers in die bevordering van die Hollandse taal en die Afrikaanse volksgevoel.
