Back Cover Text: The world of apartheid was so perverse that if I could have been given the choice to be a very clever black kid or a very stupid white kid, if I wanted to live a good life I might have been well advised to choose being a stupid white kid. During apartheid, the cleverest black kid was likely not to achieve a quality of life that the dumbest white kid could achieve. Everything in South Africa seems to be about race. If you look back into the country s history, you ll see that it always was that way. Ours is a country defined by race, but there is one race that had the choice to make it that way. Heading for fifteen years into democracy, South Africa seems to be even more about race than ever. The rainbow nation sometimes seems more like a technicolour dreamcoat - after Joseph s brothers dipped it in blood. This book has been written for all the whites who still secretly, or not so secretly, believe that the reason our country is going to hell is because of blacks. Read this book - our country was hell. With every year that s passed since 1994, it has edged further from the flames. We re all still carrying our lighters though. In his distinctive style - sarcastic, poetic, at times shockingly direct, and often funny - Charles Cilliers has written the book about white racism that whites didn t want to see, but could do well to read. If they don t, then South Africa will perhaps continue to be about race for a long time to come - but whites, the very people who made it that way, and who now don t seem to want to talk about it much, are still the ones who can make that less so - if only we realised it. One of the most controversial books of the year, For Whites Only casts a light on the blackest days of whiteness, and encourages us all to clean out the skeletons we have in our collective closet.
