Across the Continents: Engaging and Questioning Community

“…The extent to which community informs the project of apartheid is found in its own selfarticulated logic which states that 'only identification with one's own ethnic community was authentic' and that 'colour came to mark language, tradition and lifestyle as that which defines the self, a self that is always already in rela tion to others that are like it' -a logic of racialised self-identification in commu nity that leads to apartheid multi-national homeland separate development, which is, in turn, the cornerstone demarcating apartheid as distinct from only intensified racial segregation (Giliomee, 2003;Van Bever Donker, 2013, p. 24).…”

Circling of the Wagons?: A Look at Orania, South Africa

“…Throughout the tumultuous colonial history of South Africa, the Afrikaners have often been characterized as separatist and self‐determined.
