Satanism and Family Murder in Late Apartheid South Africa: Imagining the End of Whiteness

Falkof, Nicky

This book discusses two moral panics that appeared in the media in late apartheid South Africa: the Satanism scare and the so-called epidemic of white family murder. The analysis of these symptoms of social and political change reveals important truths about whiteness, gender, violence, history, nationalism and injustice in South Africa and beyond.
