Description

How have white Afrikaans-speaking women responded to the liberating possibilities of constitutional democracy? Have they re-imagined themselves in opposition to colonial ideas of race, gender, sexuality and class? Sitting Pretty explores this postapartheid identity through the concepts of ordentlikheid and the volksmoeder.
