Description

Apartheid Vertigo explores the lasting psychological and social impact of skin color-based oppression in South Africa. This book examines the concept of apartheid vertigo, defined as the dizzying sensation that follows long periods of oppression and delusions regarding skin color. For centuries, a strict color-code shaped national ideals and created deep emotional distances between social groups, affecting both public and private life. Even two decades after the end of official apartheid, this book argues that the effects continue to distort postcolonial reality. Through the lens of the Interdisciplinary Research Series in Ethnic, Gender and Class, the text investigates how these historical structures persist under new masks. It provides a deep look into how the dehumanization of Africans of all nationalities has shaped the modern landscape, offering a serious academic study of how past social codes continue to influence contemporary South African society.
