This book examines writing which is concerned with the period of the 'poor white problem' and the 'poor white solution' (1870s-1940s) in Southern Africa. It argues that 'poor white' is not a narrow economic category, but describes those who threaten to collapse boundaries-racial, sexual, and class boundaries.
