“…For many researchers working in settings with vulnerable, marginalized, or under-resourced communities, a return on investment for community partners and community researchers is crucial. Oftentimes, researchers working in these settings will prepare internal reports to NGO partners, write white papers that are made available online, or organize public outreach and knowledge dissemination events prior to formal and peer-reviewed research papers being published (Kruger, 2016). Our team, for example, spent several months preparing for an on-site half-day conference in Dzaleka, organized and facilitated by the CRs.…”

This methodological paper discusses the ethical and power-based implications of conducting remote and participatory research in a refugee camp in Malawi. This community-engaged project focused on education and technology. Half of the research team lives in Canada and half in the Dzaleka RefugeeCamp. This paper reflects on this study, with a focus on remote partnership, team building with community researchers, and the use of digital tools to coordinate and manage data collection and analysis. We also identify where ethics and power are both disrupted and affirmed through participatory activities.

“…Despite an increased focus in research (Steyn & Conway, 2010;Ware, 2013), whiteness is still largely viewed as normative. Hence, the racial category "white" still remains an unmarked term that allows it the benefit of appearing normative and invisible, while other races remain marked and noticeable in their difference (Brekhus, 1998;Frankenberg, 1993Frankenberg, , 1997Kruger, 2016;Nakayama & Krizek, 1995;Riggs & Selby, 2003).…”

“…Consequently, the domestic workers' sense of belonging within middle-class arrangements of domestic space and place, in which they perform an integral role, is from a marginalised point of view. This position is argued from the perspective of white middle-class narratives (Brekhus, 1998;Frankenberg, 1993Frankenberg, , 1997Kruger, 2016;Nakayama & Krizek, 1995;Nuttall, 2001;Riggs & Selby, 2003;Steyn & Conway, 2010;Ware, 2013).…”

This paper examines the home as networked and relational. These arrangements of spaceand place were investigated through a digital ethnography and critical discourse analysis ofdomestically focused posts by 50 Facebook users. This data was supplemented by interviews,and in-situ observations drawn from the broader sample. Facebook has opened up the privatespace of the home, allowing domestic space, place, and practice to gain visibility, which, whenanalysed in conjunction with Actor-Network Theory (ANT), illustrates the networked and relationalquality of the home. The home, and the relationships between actants, reflects discoursesand hierarchy. Women remain tightly bound to the home, and to postfeminist discourses ofdomesticity and domestopia. This paper reveals that whiteness, and in particular madamhood,is blackboxed within middle-class homes. Domestic workers employed by these households,on the other hand, were largely absent from such narratives and conversations, and weremarginalised within networks.

“…However, these communities have rarely been compared, and moreover, ethnographic studies have focussed mainly on the Cape Flats among poorer Capetonians (Salo 2003(Salo , 2009Ross 2005;Jensen 2008; Versfeld 2012), with "poor whites" being the only white people involved (see e.g. Teppo , 2009Teppo , 2013Peens 2011;Kruger 2016;Lange 2018). They have been linked less to middle-class people, whether white, black, or coloured, who also subscribed to these ideas -although there are some ordentlikheid studies on white middle-class discourses of gender and race in the post-apartheid era .…”

Afrikaners and the Boundaries of Faith in Post-Apartheid South Africa

This book examines the shifting moral and spiritual lives of white Afrikaners in South Africa after apartheid.The end of South Africa's apartheid system of racial and spatial segregation sparked wide-reaching social change as social, cultural, spatial and racial boundaries were transgressed and transformed. This book investigates how Afrikaners have mediated the country's shifting boundaries within the realm of religion. For instance, one in every three Afrikaners used these new freedoms to leave the traditional Dutch Reformed Church (NGK), often for an entirely new religious affiliation within the Pentecostal or Charismatic churches, or New Religious Movements such as Wiccan neopaganism. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in the Western Cape area, the book investigates what spiritual life after racial totalitarianism means for the members of the ethnic group that constructed and maintained that very totalitarianism. Ultimately, the book asks how these new Afrikaner religious practices contribute to social solidarity and integration in a persistently segregated society, and what they can tell us about racial relations in the country today. This book will be of interest to scholars of religious studies, social and cultural anthropology and African studies.
