Following the end of apartheid in 1994, the ANC government placed
education at the centre of its plans to build a nonracial and more
equitable society. Yet, by the 2010s a wave of student protests
voiced demands for decolonised and affordable education. By
following families and schools in Durban for nearly a decade, Mark
Hunter sheds new light on South Africa's political transition and
the global phenomenon of education marketisation. He rejects simple
descriptions of the country's move from 'race to class apartheid'
and reveals how 'white' phenotypic traits like skin colour retain
value in the schooling system even as the multiracial middle class
embraces prestigious linguistic and embodied practices the book
calls 'white tone'. By illuminating the actions and choices of both
white and black parents, Hunter provides a unique view on race,
class and gender in a country emerging from a notorious system of
institutionalised racism.
