Julian Roup's anecdotes begin on the stunning beaches of his boyhood home in South Africa. The stories continue in Sussex as he explains how riding horses and fishing are so much cheaper than attending psychotherapy sessions.

This is a title that goes beyond politics with the very human story of one man, giving insight into the hearts and minds of a people struggling to find their identity as white Africans trying to secure their place in Africa. They are seen through the eyes of a Boerejood - a half Afrikaans, half Jewish writer - who struggles himself with issues of identity, reflecting the struggle around him. In the final analysis Boerejood is about the universal human struggle between good and evil, black and white, justice and injustice, love and hate - all that defines us as being human. It takes the reader on a journey of discovery, the destination being the soul of the Afrikaner, and an answer to why these people accepted black majority rule with relatively no struggle, after years of racist persecution of their black and brown neighbours.
