The Inheritors: An Intimate Portrait of South Africa’s Racial Reckoning

byEve Fairbanks

A dozen years in the making, The Inheritors weaves together the stories of three ordinary South Africans over five tumultuous decades in a sweeping and exquisite look at what really happens when a country resolves to end white supremacy. The Inheritors rests its case on archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, making room for uncertainty while explaining what the surviving evidence can establish. The Inheritors also examines the assumptions surrounding its subject, connecting them to wider arguments in history and political science.
