Applying insights from the study of class, development, and modern management techniques, the essays in Rethinking White Societies in Southern Africa 1930s–1990s (edited by Duncan Money and Danelle van Zly-Hermann) revise our understanding of white societies in southern and central Africa.

Thankfully, the open access publication of this important book ensures its availability to a wide readership.
