Neoliberalism economically rescues the same Afrikaners apartheid ideology uplifted

Evidence

The surging Afrikaner middle class – once South Africa’s poor white problem of Triomf legacy – provides many of the middlemen for its current tourist trade. Neoliberalism’s racial secularization turns out to fuel some of the very same people apartheid’s racial sacralization was supposed to uplift. Only better so, neither history nor conscience withstanding. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1611

Categorization

• DEEPTHINKING: A dense inversion: racial sacralization and racial secularization converge on the same social group’s uplift, outliving both historical regimes — resists easy summary.
• ADDENDUM: Speaks to the Immodesty piece’s theme of how ostensibly opposed moral/political regimes can serve identical stratifying ends.
