Farm Killings in South Africa

More about the book

Making up less than half a percent of all homicides reported each year, farm killings dominate the national narrative on violence. At the heart of the conflict is a long history of violence on agricultural land, and deep-rooted fears and prejudices about race, belonging, and who gets to feel safe in South Africa. In this powerful new book, journalist and violence researcher Dr Nechama Brodie, author of Femicide in South Africa, challenges many of the myths used to narrate farm killings. -- Summary from book
