Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"This book is exemplary in many aspects: the theoretical approach, the clear and transparent treatment of difficult and sensitive issues that surround discourses of race, the un-emphatic self reflexivity and the style: Steyn illustrates and enriches her arguments with mottos from fiction and non-fiction, poetry and songs." -- L'Homme. Z.F.G.

"This seriously argued and sensitive book adds a fresh perspective to the discourse on white racism in South Africa. Confronting 'whiteness' from within, Melissa Steyn charts the only journey that promises to free white South Africans in any profound way from the full implications of the nightmare of their own making." -- Njabulo S. Ndebele, author of South African Literature and Culture: Rediscovery of the Ordinary

Reseña del editor:

Narratively explores how the changes in South Africa's social and political structure are changing the white population's identity and sense of self.
