White Belongings: Race, Land, and Property in Post-Apartheid South Africa deepens ongoing critical deconstruction of the role of whiteness in maintaining racial order. Scott Burnett , argues that the protection of white entitlement and cultural connection to the land are intimately interwoven, using detailed discourse analysis of campaigns aimed at preventing rhino poaching, stopping fracking in the Karoo, and advocating for the existence of a poverty “crisis,” which reveal how whites hold on to their “belongings” in everyday talk. White Belongings goes beyond the preoccupation with identity in whiteness studies to elaborate how specific subject roles and institutions are motivated and rationalized in hegemonic discursive regimes.

White Belongings is a timely, insightful, and sometimes enraging discussion of the enduring power of white supremacy in South Africa. Burnett analyzes the pervasive discourses that associate South African whiteness with naturalness and ownership of land, space, and property. Accessibly written and vigorously researched, White Belongings is a valuable addition to the growing literature on whiteness in the global south.
