Looking at these events from the other side, \u003cem\u003eAn African Volk\u003c\/em\u003e explores how the apartheid state strove to maintain power as the world of white empire gave way to a post-colonial environment that repudiated racial hierarchy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing upon archival research across Southern Africa and beyond, as well as interviews with leaders of the apartheid order, Jamie Miller shows how the white power structure attempted to turn the new political climate to its advantage. Instead of simply resisting decolonization and African nationalism in the name of white supremacy, the regime looked to co-opt and invert the norms of the new global era to promote a fresh ideological basis for its rule. It adapted discourses of nativist identity, African anti-colonialism, economic development, anti-communism, and state sovereignty to rearticulate what it meant to be African. \u003cem\u003eAn African Volk \u003c\/em\u003edetails both the global and local repercussions. At the dawn of the 1970s, the apartheid state reached out eagerly to independent Africa in an effort to reject the mantle of colonialism and redefine the white polity as a full part of the post-colonial world. This outreach both reflected and fuelled heated debates within white society, exposing a deeply divided polity in the midst of profound economic, cultural, and social change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSituated at the nexus of African, decolonization, and Cold War history, \u003cem\u003eAn African Volk\u003c\/em\u003e takes readers into the corridors of white power to detail the apartheid regime's campaign to break out of isolation and secure global acceptance.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJamie Miller\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of History at the University of Pittsburgh.
