Connecting Colonial Nostalgia and Global White SupremacismEdition 1

This book links colonial nostalgia to the reactivation of white supremacism in the Global North. Bvirindi develops the concept ‘Rhodesianmentality’ to explore the ways in which colonial racialised discourses of othering shape contemporary racialised discourses on whiteness and white identity.

Through netnographic and ethnographic studies, this book examines and unpacks the ‘Rhodesians will never die’ mantra as the new Internet code word for global white supremacy. Bvirindi shows how Rhodesian colonial racialised discourses of othering inform global far-right politics.

This book will appeal to scholars and students in the areas of sociology, political studies, postcolonial and decolonial studies, critical race studies, critical whiteness studies, African studies and race and ethnic studies.
