Pale Native

The entire political landscape has changed since Max du Preez published his much acclaimed book Pale Native: Memories of a Renegade Reporter in 2003. This revised, updated edition has new chapters on the 'bloodless coup' of Polokwane, the demise (and updated assessment) of Thabo Mbeki, the Zuma and Malema Show, the rise of Cope and the 2009 election, the country's slide into systemic corruption and the spectacular crash of the SABC, as well as the controversies in Afrikaner culture and politics (the Free State University racist video, the 'De la Rey' song and the language debate at Stellenbosch University).
