- More about Afrikaners and the Boundaries of Faith in Post-Apartheid South Africa
This book explores how white Afrikaners in South Africa have navigated the changing moral and spiritual landscape after apartheid, exploring their shifts from traditional Dutch Reformed Church to new religious affiliations like Pentecostal or Charismatic churches, or New Religious Movements like Wiccan neopaganism. It examines the role of these new religious practices in fostering social solidarity and integration in a segregated society and sheds light on racial relations in the country today.

The end of South Africa's apartheid system, which enforced racial and spatial segregation, brought about significant social change as boundaries between social, cultural, spatial, and racial groups were blurred and redefined. This book delves into how Afrikaners have navigated the shifting boundaries within the realm of religion in the post-apartheid era. For instance, a significant proportion of Afrikaners, approximately one-third, abandoned the traditional Dutch Reformed Church (NGK), often seeking religious affiliations in Pentecostal or Charismatic churches, or joining New Religious Movements like Wiccan neopaganism. Drawing from extensive ethnographic fieldwork in the Western Cape area, the book explores the spiritual lives of Afrikaners after racial totalitarianism. It examines what it means for the members of the ethnic group that perpetuated and maintained such totalitarianism. Ultimately, the book seeks to answer how these new Afrikaner religious practices contribute to social solidarity and integration in a society that continues to be deeply segregated. Furthermore, it offers valuable insights into racial relations in the country today.
This book will appeal to scholars specializing in religious studies, social and cultural anthropology, and African studies. Its comprehensive analysis of the evolving moral and spiritual landscape of Afrikaners in South Africa provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of post-apartheid society.
