Into The Laager – Afrikaners Living on The Edge – Kajsa Norman

Description

In Into the Laager: Afrikaners Living on the Edge, Kajsa Norman examines the complex and often controversial world of Afrikaner identity in post-apartheid South Africa.

More than two decades after the fall of apartheid, groups of White Afrikaners have cut themselves off from this unpredictable country, fearing that their language, culture and eventually their entire people may become extinct. Living on edge in an ever-changing nation, some have retreated to the breakaway republic of Orania, where they work to construct an utopia for White Africans. Within the safety of their laager – a homeland with its own flag and currency – they can, once again, dictate the rules.
