Waiting : Whites of South Africa – Vincent Crapanzano

R450.00

Africana : Great read about late Apartheid South Africa and perspective of white South Africans. Very interesting look at South Africa’s social history. Lots of anthropology, too. Clear explanation of the different segments of the population and how they interacted — of course, the book is 30+ years old now, so things have changed or have they. Examines the effects of domination on the everyday lives of those who dominate–human beings who, privileged by power, paradoxically are victims of it too. For the whites of South Africa, the present is always secondary to the future, without vitality, creative force, a rehearsal for the day of reckoning.
