Migration and National Identity in South Africa, 1860-2010 by Audie Klotz

An extraordinary outbreak of xenophobic violence in May 2008 shocked South Africa, but hostility toward newcomers has a long history. Democratization has channelled such discontent into a non-racial nationalism that specifically targets foreign Africans as a threat to prosperity. Finding suitable governmental and societal responses requires a better understanding of the complex legacies of segregation that underpin current immigration policies and practices. Unfortunately, conventional wisdoms of path dependency promote excessive fatalism and ignore how much South Africa is a typical settler state. A century ago, its policy makers shared innovative ideas with Australia and Canada, and these peers, which now openly wrestle with their own racist past, merit renewed attention. As unpalatable as the comparison might be to contemporary advocates of multiculturalism, rethinking restrictions in South Africa can also offer lessons for reconciling competing claims of indigeneity through multiple levels of representation and rights.

This book is part of our Africana (ZA) Collection.

For Matsimele Mphahlele, running started as a journey to improve his health – and has grown into a powerful platform for change. With over 40 marathons and five Comrades races completed, he knows the strength it takes to go the distance.

Now, he’s using that determination to help UP graduates who have earned their degrees but can’t access them due to debt. Help him turn effort into impact.
