Reviews
'An important contribution to both historical and social science scholarship on South Africa, this account of white labour politics, with particular emphasis on Afrikaners [traces the trajectory of white trade unions from the militantly anti-capitalist but racially exclusivist battles of the early 20th Century, through an ambiguously privileged situation under apartheid, to recent attempts to adjust to majority rule. The book shows that white society was never fully unitary, but always reflected class divisions. This outstanding work combines innovative archival scholarship with the author's remarkable field-work study on the Solidarity movement of recent years.'

Synopsis
A rethinking of South Africa's recent past, this book presents unique historical evidence of white working-class responses to the dismantling of apartheid and establishment of majority rule in South Africa, from the 1970s to present, placing this in the context of global debates on neoliberalism and identity politics., White workers occupied a unique social position in apartheid-era South Africa. Shielded from black labour competition in exchange for support for the white minority regime, their race-based status effectively concealed their class-based vulnerability. Centred on this entanglement of race and class, Privileged Precariat examines how South Africa's white workers experienced the dismantling of the racial state and the establishment of black majority rule. Starting from the 1970s, it shows how apartheid reforms constituted the withdrawal of state support for working-class whiteness, sending workers in search of new ways to safeguard their interests in a rapidly changing world. Danelle van Zyl-Hermann tracks the shifting strategies of the blue-collar Mineworkers' Union, culminating in its reinvention, by the 2010s, as the Solidarity Movement, a social movement appealing to cultural nationalism. Integrating unique historical and ethnographic evidence with global debates, Privileged Precariat offers a chronological and interpretative rethinking of South Africa's recent past and contributes new insights from the Global South to debates on race and class in the era of neoliberalism.
