Smith, Hugh H. 1993. Flags of the Union Defence Forces and of the South African Defence Force, 1912 to 1993. First Reprint: August 1996. SAVA Journal 2. Southern African Vexillological Association (SAVA).

This short monograph is an attempt to record in words and in illustrations the flags which have been used, between 1912 and 1993, by the Union Defence Forces and the South African Defence Forces; and by their constitutional arms of service (e.g.: the South African Army, Air Force, Navy, and Medical Services).
Brownell, Frederick Gordon. 1992. Some Southern African Flags, 1940-1991. SAVA Journal 1. Southern African Vexillological Association (SAVA).

Van Zul, J. A. (1943) 1995. The History of the Flags of South Africa Before 1900. SAVA Journal 4. Southern African Vexillological Association (SAVA).

A translation of Die geskiedenis van die vlae van Suid-Afrika voor 1900. This hitherto virtually unknown study was, in its original form, submitted to the University of South Africa as a dissertation in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts., the written examination of which was completed in December 1940. The MA degree was awarded in 1943. Despite being probably the first South African academic study in the field of vexillology, the existence of this dissertation was known only to a small number of vexillologists. The fact that the dissertation was written in Afrikaans also made it inaccessible to the wider international flag fraternity.

The book deals with the identification of “identity” based on culturally specific color codes and images that conceal assumptions about members of a people comprising a nation, or a people within a nation. Flags narrate constructions of belonging that become tethered to negotiations for power and resistance over time and throughout a people’s history. Bennet (2005) defines identity as “the imagined sameness of a person or social group at all times and in all circumstances”. While such likeness may be imagined or even perpetuated, the idea of sameness may be socially, politically, culturally, and historically contested to reveal competing pasts and presents. Visually evocative and ideologically representative, flags are recognized symbols fusing color with meaning that prescribe a story of unity. Yet, through semiotic confrontation, there may be different paths leading to different truths and applications of significance. Knowing this and their function, the book investigates these transmitted values over time and space. Indeed, flags may have evolved in key historical periods, but contemporaneously transpire in a variety of ways. The book investigates these transmitted values: Which values are being transmitted? Have their colors evolved through space and time? Is there a shift in cultural and/or collective meaning from one space to another? What are their sources? What is the relationship between law and flags in their visual representations? What is the shared collective and/or cultural memory beyond this visual representation? Considering the complexity and diversity in the building of a common memory with flags, the book interrogates the complex color-coded sign system of particular flags and their meanings attentive to a complex configuration of historical, social and cultural conditions that shift over time.

Billig, Michael. 1995. Banal Nationalism. SAGE Publications.

Michael Billig presents a major challenge to orthodox conceptions of nationalism. While traditional theorizing has focused on extreme expressions of nationalism thus making it an exotic and remote concern, Michael Billig turns his attention to the everyday, and so less visible, forms that are deeply ingrained in contemporary consciousness. Banal Nationalism asks why people do not forget their national identity. It contends that nationalism is constantly "flagged" in the media through routine symbols and habits of language. In a well-thought-out analysis, the author shows how assumptions of nationhood are regularly conveyed, often through small familiar turns of phrase, and how these reminders operate mindlessly beyond the level of conscious awareness, like the flag, which hangs unnoticed outside a public building. Banal Nationalism addresses these core features of nationalism while providing the reader with meaningful insights into their own nationality. Billig's elegantly written and broad-ranging book argues forcefully that nationalism continues to be a major ideological force in the contemporary world and will be essential reading for students and academics across the social sciences.
