The Anxieties of White Supremacy: Hendrik Verwoerd and the Apartheid Mindset (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783110787269)

Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd (1958-1966) is widely regarded as the mastermind of apartheid in South Africa. This study examines how he developed the ideology of racial separation into a comprehensive system. It also looks into Verwoerd's intellectual development and his academic career before he entered politics. Apartheid was to Verwoerd less a defense of colonialism but a policy for the future, he was an authoritarian modernizer and a true representative of the Age of Extremes.
