Abstract:
South Africa has been reeling under the recent blows of an apparent resurgence of crude public manifestations of racism and a hardening of attitudes on both sides of the racial divide. This volume comprises the varied and thought-provoking presentations from a discourse on "whiteness", including a keynote address by former president Kgalema Motlanthe and inputs from Melissa Steyn, Andries Nel, Mary Burton, Christi van der Westhuizen, Lynette Steenveld, Bobby Godsell, Dirk Herman (of Solidarity), Ernst Roets (of Afriforum), Xhanti Payi, Mathatha Tsedu, Pieter Duvenage, Hein Willemse and Nico Koopman, with closing remarks by Achille Mbembe and Mathews Phosa. It deals with a range of issues around 'whiteness' in general and delves into the place of Afrikaners and the Afrikaans language in democratic South Africa, demonstrating that there is no homogeneity of views on these topics among white South Africans in general and Afrikaners in particular."-- Publisher's description

Presentations from a round-table, "Whites, Afrikaans, Afrikaners: Addressing Post-Apartheid Legacies, Privileges and Burdens", held November 2015 at the Women's Gaol on Constitution Hill, organized by MISTRA in partnership with the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) and the National Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIHSS). This round-table was organized to address a gap in MISTRA's previous research project, published as Nation Formation and Social Cohesion : An Enquiry into the Hopes and Aspirations of South Africans (August 2015)
