Dr. Thomas Chalmers Robertson (15 September 1907 – 11 January 1989) was a South African writer, ecologist and conservationist.[1] During World War II, he was a war correspondent and wrote anti-Nazi propaganda for the government of Jan Smuts.[2]
Conservation
Robertson advocated for soil and grassland conservation in Southern Africa.[3]
The T.C.Robertson Nature Reserve, outside Scottburgh, KwaZulu-Natal, is named after him.[1][3] He also helped establish Ilanda Wilds, a nature reserve in Amanzimtoti north of Scottburgh.[4]
"White nationalism" as a term
According to Dictionary.com, Robertson coined the term "white nationalism" in his 1948 essay Racism Comes to Power in South Africa: The Threat of White Nationalism.[5] However, Merriam-Webster has found earlier usage of the phrase, dating to 1925.[6]
