How has the position of Afrikaners evolved since the end of the Apartheid regime in South Africa? The ties between Afrikaner nationalist identity and the apartheid regime have been fundamentally transformed, yet this minority still possesses significant material and cultural resources. Some Afrikaans speakers have emerged as influential figures in the new South Africa and on the global stage. Davies contends that the global political economy and the ideology of globalization are key drivers of change in Afrikaner identities and roles. She identifies various Afrikaner groups and identities, illustrating their impact on the intricate social, economic, and political landscape of South Africa.

Engaging, informative, and well-crafted, "Afrikaners in the New South Africa" is a crucial addition to our comprehension of post-apartheid South Africa. It is essential for individuals interested in South Africa, identity politics, globalization, international political economy, and geography.
