What does it mean for me, and others, to be white as white South Africans in the post-colonial, post-Apartheid South African context? What constitutes my Whiteness, our Whiteness, Systemic Whiteness, and what does not? What role does faith play inconstructing, constituting, reinscribing, or subverting my Whiteness, our Whiteness, and theWhiteness still present in post-colonial, post-Apartheid systems and structures? How doesSouth African Whiteness connect to European, particularly German, and global networks, systems, structures and conceptions of Whiteness? How are such linkages obscured, subverted, or sustained? What role do Christian religious workers, as gatekeepers of religious belief, belonging, an behaviour, play in the construction and/or subversion of Whiteness and national identity inreligious communities? My research project seeks to engage these questions and is, in part, acontinuation of work I have already done exploring Whiteness in the South African context. In exploring these questions I will seek to hopefully offer some critical tools for deconstructing Whiteness in Christian normative communities in South Africa and Germany.
