In 1994, the world joined South Africa in celebration of the
results of its first democratic election. The results, emblazoned
on the world's memory with President Nelson Mandela waving to a
multiracial crowd, signified the end of apartheid and an emerging
new era of hope. However, Mandela's recent death has given birth to
a more critical view of his "Rainbow Nation." No matter how
examined, education in South Africa remains steadfastly unequal,
with many White children retaining the educational privileges
inherent to apartheid. White children in South Africa
overwhelmingly attend wealthy, fully resourced schools, while the
vast majority of Black and Coloured children attend woefully
underresourced schools. Based upon three sets of studies in schools
in and around Cape Town, Whiteness Is the New South Africa
highlights drastic racial disparities, suggesting that educational
apartheid continues unabated, potentially fostering future
generations of impoverished Black and Coloured communities. This
book suggests that South Africa remains committed to stifling the
intellectual, emotional, and economic development of Black and
Coloured youth, while simultaneously investing in White children.
