Review

'A beautiful portrait of the domestic and public spaces lived by the British in South Africa. This book weaves together biographies and social analysis, providing a compelling account of lifestyle migration, whiteness and contemporary South Africa.' Caroline Knowles, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK'A beautifully written book that is a wonderful contribution and challenge to literature on privileged and lifestyle migration. This is full of truly incredible and painful stories, evocative of the power, privilege, and ambiguity inherent in these migrants' lives.' Karen O'Reilly, Loughborough University, UK
