This book showcases new research by emerging and established
scholars on white workers and the white poor in Southern Africa.
Rethinking White Societies in Southern Africa challenges the
geographical and chronological limitations of existing scholarship
by presenting case studies from Angola, Mozambique, South Africa,
Zambia and Zimbabwe that track the fortunes of nonhegemonic whites
during the era of white minority rule. Arguing against prevalent
understandings of white society as uniformly wealthy or culturally
homogeneous during this period, it demonstrates that social class
remained a salient element throughout the twentieth century, how
Southern Africa's white societies were often divided and riven with
tension and how the resulting social, political and economic
complexities animated white minority regimes in the region.
Addressing themes such as the class-based disruption of racial
norms and practices, state surveillance and interventions - and
their failures - towards nonhegemonic whites, and the opportunities
and limitations of physical and social mobility, the book mounts a
forceful argument for the regional consideration of white societies
in this historical context. Centrally, it extends the path-breaking
insights emanating from scholarship on racialized class identities
from North America to the African context to argue that race and
class cannot be considered independently in Southern Africa. This
book will be of interest to scholars and students of southern
African studies, African history, and the history of race.
