Beskrivning

Twenty years after the post-apartheid Government took office, this timely text interrogates the extent to which the attitudes, identities and everyday lives of British people have changed in accordance with the 'new' South Africa. New ethnographic research is drawn upon to explore important questions of mobility, locality and identity.

Recensioner i media

'A beautiful portrait of the domestic and public spaces lived by the British in South Africa. This book weaves together biographies and social analysis, providing a compelling account of lifestyle migration, whiteness and contemporary South Africa.' Caroline Knowles, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK 'A beautifully written book that is a wonderful contribution and challenge to literature on privileged and lifestyle migration. This is full of truly incredible and painful stories, evocative of the power, privilege, and ambiguity inherent in these migrants' lives.' Karen O'Reilly, Loughborough University, UK
