What is it about?
The article is about how we can think about what is happening in contemporary South African politics along the lines of the New Right. Whilst traditionally associated with North America and Europe, the article seeks to draw parallels with the South African context. Thus expanding the reach of the analysis of political conservatism beyond its current geographical limits.

Why is it important?
The article is important because it goes beyond the ascription of New Right ideology to simply white nationalism and nostalgia to proposing that a form of Black Conservatism is a big part of the phenomenon on contemporary South Africa.
