Description
What does it mean to perform whiteness in the postcolonial era? To answer this question - crucial for understanding the changing meanings of race in the twenty-first century - Megan Lewis examines the ways that members of South Africa's Afrikaner minority have performed themselves into, around, and out of power from the colonial period to the postcolony.
