Parochial racism can internationalize itself into a profitable transatlantic white-masculinity market

Evidence

It would be easy to read Wolwekloof as a straightforward narrative of atavistic, Afrikaner self-enclosure, of a racially and historically threatened man barricading himself against history, democracy, and black empowerment. But to that narrative we must add a complicating twist. If the postapartheid turn disturbed Kleinhans, he also recognized in it fresh business opportunities. With foreign tourists and hunters pouring in under Mandela, Kleinhans could capitalize on resilient mythologies of international white masculinity for which the lion hunt could serve as a seductive, profitable shorthand. In creating a racio-temporal island in a sea of black majority rule he was simultaneously reaching out to an oceanic white wildlife kill-or-consume culture that stretched beyond the nation. — Rob Nixon, Slow Violence and the Environmentalism…, 505
