The Anxieties of White Supremacy
De Gruyter Oldenbourg (Verlag)
978-3-11-221416-9 (ISBN)
Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd (1958-1966) is widely regarded as the mastermind of apartheid in South Africa. This study examines how he developed the ideology of racial separation into a comprehensive system. It also looks into Verwoerd's intellectual development and his academic career before he entered politics. Apartheid was to Verwoerd less a defense of colonialism but a policy for the future, he was an authoritarian modernizer and a true representative of the Age of Extremes.

"Marx's meticulous analysis of Verwoerd's scientific oeuvre reveals fascinating insights into the politician's mindset - his notion of an absolute truth that could be established once and for all through scientific means, his dismissal of emotions, and his uncompromising dogmatism" - Julia Tischler (Universität Basel ) in H-Soz-Kult (19.12.2024), https://www.hsozkult.de/publicationreview/id/reb-94648.
