- Description
- To be white in Africa is to be part of a minority - but a very powerful minority. To be white in South Africa is to be implicated and complicit in historical dispossession and disenfranchisement. However, in post-apartheid South Africa, whiteness is no longer the invisible condition of the default human being, a condition to which all other humans must aspire. In fact, to be white is suddenly to be very visibly Other to the black African majority who are increasingly shaping the social landscape in ways that undermine the trajectories of both the colonial project and the apartheid project in this country.
