Reveals the pathological, paranoid and bizarre consequences that the looming end of apartheid had on white culture in South Africa, and shows that whiteness (in South Africa and in general) is a deeply problematic category that needs to be deconstructed and thoughtfully considered.
The aim of the book is to reveal the pathological, paranoid and bizarre consequences that the looming end of apartheid had on white culture in South Africa, and overall to show that whiteness (in SA and in general) is a deeply problematic category that needs to be deconstructed and thoughtfully considered. It discusses two symptoms of this late apartheid cultural hysteria that appeared throughout the contemporary media and in popular literature during the 1980s and 1990s. Structurally, it is divided into two parts, one on each scare. Each is comprised of five chapters: four of context, discussion and analysis and one long chapter that traces the process of the scare in the media.
